1. Climate Change is real and it is happening!

There is Clear Evidence of Global Warming Temperature has increased by about 1°C compared to pre-industrial period. Source NASA

Global CO2 Emissions Related to Fossil Fuels Global carbon (C) emissions from fossil fuel use were 9.795 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2014 (or 35.9 GtCO2 of carbon dioxide). There is a strong correlation between emissions and temperature increase. source: Boden et al.

Global GHG Emissions Continue to Grow up to 2016 Global greenhouse gas emissions for top six emitting countries and regions (excluding land use, land-use change and forestry), international transport emissions, and land use, land-use change and forestry emissions. Global carbon dioxide emissions per region from fossil fuel use, cement production and other processes, and from international transport.

Increase in Natural Disasters Higher temperatures have resulted in more catastrophies such as flooding, draught, hurricanes, etc. Source Munich RE

The Emission Gap - 2 Both the 2C and 1.5 C scenario require peaking at around 2020, while under current NDCs GHG emissions will continue to grow till 2030, reducing the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 C Source UNEP

IPCC SR 1.5 C An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty.  Limiting global warming to 1.5ºC would require rapid, far reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society.
