Why the UNEP 1.5°C overshoot report must be an urgent call to action on climate change

Why the UNEP 1.5°C overshoot report must be an urgent call to action on climate change

As Greenpeace International explains in its policy briefing, a just transition is more than simply swapping coal, oil and gas for renewables. It is an opportunity to transform energy, transport, industrial and other systems so they are more secure and affordable, reduce inequality, protect ecosystems and shift power from elites and multi-billion-dollar corporations to people.

United Nations on Instagram: "Mountains 🏔? cover more than 25% of the earth's land surface and are home to over one billion people. They also provide key food crops and most of the world's fresh water. The climate crisis and overexploitation present serious threats to mountain ecosystems. Rising temperatures have resulted in glaciers melting at unprecedented rates, affecting water supplies and impacting people and animals who call mountains their home. Wednesday's World Mountain Day is an opportunity to highlight the urgent need to protect mountain ecosystems and species."
