Climate scientists have set out how we could limit global warming, but their scenarios are not at all realistic.
Staying below 1.5°C will require urgent, deep and radical changes in almost every aspect of our lives.
The kind of climate action outlined by the ubiquitous climate checklists won’t be enough.
The UN’s panel on climate change said that technologies to remove CO2 will be necessary to limit global temperature rise to only 1.5 degrees Celsius. But these techniques are largely unproven.
Limiting human-induced warming will be tough, given where we start from.
Limiting global warming to 1.5C is a tough challenge but still within reach, according to a landmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change commissioned after the 2015 Paris summit.
