Global Warming Plan Insufficient

Current plans to address global warming are insufficient, but there are "multiple, feasible and effective options," says a report from a United Nations scientific panel. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report says keeping temperatures to 1.5⁰ Celsius above pre-industrial levels will take "deep, rapid, and sustained" greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors this decade. It proposes a "climate resilient development" approach that integrates measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions that also benefit society, such as access to clean energy, low-carbon electrification and transport, and improved air quality.
