Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Global warming exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, leading to increased climate-related risks such as sea level rise, biodiversity loss, extreme temperatures, food shortages, and health issues.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban and infrastructure, and industrial systems; deep emissions reductions in all sectors; a wide portfolio of mitigation options; significant upscaling of investments in mitigation options; decarbonization of energy supply; greater mitigation efforts on the demand side; switching from fossil fuels to electricity in end-use sectors; comprehensive emission reductions in the coming decade; considerable shifts in investment patterns; carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at scale before mid-century; additional reductions in CO2 emissions beyond those needed for a 2°C scenario.
