Global Warming of 1.5 ºC and Greta Thunberg

“Just for quoting or acting on these numbers, these scientific facts,

we receive unimaginable amounts of hate and threats. 

We are being mocked and lied about by members 

of parliament and journalists,” 

“You don’t have to listen to us, 

but you do have to listen to the science,” 

“That is all we ask, to unite behind the science.”

The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports about knowledge on climate change, its causes, potential impacts and response options. 

An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C  above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty. Read Chapter 2 here: Mitigation Pathways Compatible with 1.5°C in the Context of Sustainable Development.
