Climate Change Knows No Borders: The Need for Global Cooperation
Unite for a Sustainable Future — Take Action!
The global temperature has risen by 1.2°C since the late 19th century, with the last decade being the hottest on record. The Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to 1.5°C, beyond which irreversible damage is likely. In 2021, CO2 emissions hit a record 36.3 billion tonnes, while methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is rising rapidly. Sea levels have risen by 8 inches since 1880 and could rise by 1 to 4 feet by 2100, displacing millions. Extreme weather events have quadrupled since 1970.
1.5 Degree's vision is to create a sustainable world by limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C, preventing the worst impacts of climate change. Its mission is to drive global cooperation, reduce carbon emissions, and inspire individuals and businesses to adopt green solutions.
Collective action is crucial as climate change affects all nations. Without global efforts, carbon leakage and inequality will worsen. 1.5 Degree pushes for technology, funding, and knowledge-sharing to avoid catastrophic warming and ensure a sustainable future.
