Even if the non-binding targets set in the 2015 Paris Agreement were met, it would only limit heating to between 2 and 4.5C.
The status of the environmental crisis is clear: without immediate and drastic action to revolutionise our economic models, the world will surpass the 2C mark of global warming by 2030 and even reach the 4-5C mark by 2100. Even if the non-binding targets set in the 2015 Paris Agreement were met, it would only limit heating to between 2 and 4.5C. Aside from carbon emissions, drastic biodiversity loss, resource extractivism, and water and air pollution all pose serious threats to our way of life.
