Mission 2020: Why we must do more
summary
Paris-era commitments aim for well below 2°C, striving for 1.5°C because the IPCC finds half a degree matters: about twice the biodiversity loss and three times more people in life‑threatening conditions at 2°C. Global emissions sit near 41 gigatonnes and must be cut roughly half by 2030 then halve again each following decade to reach ~5 Gt that the biosphere can absorb. Renewables are on an exponential track toward 50% renewables by 2030 but gaps remain in storage, heavy industry, land use and buildings where batteries, smart grids and efficiency must scale.
