@PhThalmannEPFL @ETH_en Some key messages:
1) No exact numbers for a 1.5°C pathway, but economic pathways for Switzerland that would be consistent with limitation of global warming at 2°C would "only" cost 1% of overall consumption per household. Does not seem a lot in view of benefits!

@PhThalmannEPFL @ETH_en 2) 1.5°C pathways require more ambition and in particular immediate reductions of CO2 emissions. But they are not a priori impossible.
@PhThalmannEPFL @ETH_en 3) Speed of action is the essence: The longer we wait, the greater the needed efforts will be.
