Science vs policy: bridging the gap between a 1.5°C or 3°C increase

Green week - Session 1

The world is at a critical crossroads. Scientific research has made it clear: the difference between a 1.5°C and a 3°C global temperature increase could mean radically different futures for ecosystems, societies, and economies worldwide. But are current policies enough to make the change we need? This webinar dives deep into the science behind global warming targets, compares them to the reality of political action, and explores the consequences of staying on our current path.

Key topics:

• Overview of IPCC findings and latest research regarding future projections.
• Comparison of outcomes of scientific recommendations compared to current political actions.
• Discussion on how much current policies will mitigate the worst outcomes of climate change.
