INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 1.5 Degrees: Meeting the challenges of the Paris Agreement

Basics

Infographic that says 0.5 is a big difference. 0.5 is the most ambitious target still considered achievable.

Infographic that says Nations, People, Species need 1o5c to survive.

Infographic that says 1.5 degree celsius means more clean air, jobs, and energy access and much else.

Infographic that say that Science says it can be done if we all act fast.

Infographic that says you can help by joining an event, run a campaign, show you support, spread the word.

0.5 is the most ambitious target still considered achievable.

Take Action

0.5 is a big difference

Half a degree is a big deal

Another infographic that says the planet already warmed by 1 degree celsius since industrialization, and people everwhere are feeling the heat. It affects people's health and safety around the world.

Two is just too much

Another infographic that says that the length of heat waves in the tropics doubles. When we reach 1.5 degree celsius and another whole month of heat waves would be added again if we hit 2 degrees. FACT: 1.6 of warming is the best estimate for when melting of the greenland ice sheet becomes irreversible.

The bad news stops with

Another infographic that says at the heart of the Paris agreement. A unique and universal new global treaty to tackle climate change. In 2016, renewable energy employed x4 the jobs that coal, did in the US for around 1/3 less power generated. It is the toughest warming target that can still be achieved. 1.5 degree celsius is a chance to thrive. Reducing the pollution behind global warming will boost prosperity bringing more clean are with new and high quality green jobs by improvng access to energy improving financial stability and much more.

You can help get us to 1.5c

Infographic that says 1.5 degree celsius is only possible with urgent global action. Business, Every Government, Community and Individual. All around the world people can take action by reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, cutting back wast, stopping and reversing deforestation, and much else that is causing the pollution that is heating the planet
