The new IPCC report could not be clearer. Global temperatures are rising dangerously close to the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement.
#IPCC 1/4

I am often asked if I am panicking or losing hope. I am not. Instead, I am fighting, we are fighting, because every fraction of a degree matters. We can still stay within 1.5°C, but world leaders need to act now.
#IPCC 2/4

Pledges made so far under the Paris Agreement would bring us to about 2.4°C according to Climate Action Tracker. Many countries are yet to submit climate targets. COP26 will be a clarifying moment: how serious are G20 countries about tackling the climate crisis?
#IPCC 3/4

Scientists did their job, it is time for leaders to do theirs.

Ditch coal.
Start cutting emissions.
Stop subsidising fossil fuels.
Deliver 1.5°C aligned climate targets.
Invest the agreed lower limit of $100billion
& help mobilise the trillions needed beyond it.
