Christiana Figueres Instagram – There are strong forces at work attempting to convince us that a rapid and just transition would be too difficult, too unpopular or too expensive. It is not so.
Our new coalition #Mission2025 comprises some of the world’s largest businesses, networks, cities, regions and individuals, joining to call for governments to raise ambition for the next round of national climate plans (the NDCs due in 2025) to be 1.5°C-aligned.
By doing so, we can unlock the momentum needed for this transition to happen at the speed and scale required, and with the equity deserved.
This is entirely possible and – as we clearly see from the rising numbers of catastrophic extreme weather events in our news feeds every day – absolutely necessary.
Holding the line on 1.5°C is not an aspirational target – it is a scientific imperative.
It’s time for leaders to lead.
