WHY NOW?
“This is code red for humanity"
-- UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group 1 report
​
Climate change is reshaping the threat landscape for all of humanity.
Drastic action now is essential to head off catastrophic future impacts.
​
Greenhouse gas concentrations are at their highest levels in 2 million years. And emissions are continuing to rise.¹
The last decade (2011-2020) was the warmest on record.¹
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment—including shrinking glaciers, accelerated sea level rise, more intense heat waves—and are predicted to worsen in the decades to come.²
