Climate Change & Sustainability Essentials - 2022 Edition




Climate Change & Sustainability Essentials - 2022 Edition

First-hand knowledge, from leading climate experts

Climate change is possibly the greatest challenge of our time, "the fight of our lives" in the words of the UN Secretary General at the COP26. We accept the scientific consensus that climate change is real, and that it is related to human actions. Beyond that - the picture becomes blurry. How bad is it? How fast is it happening? What are the probable consequences, and what can we do to mitigate them?

To take action, we need a clear perspective. We must listen to scientists to develop a more accurate understanding of the key issues, take a stand and make informed decisions.
