Introduction

Our planet is warming, the climate is changing. But how warm it will exactly get, and how swift our climate will change depends on just one factor: humans and their ability to emit fewer greenhouse gases in the short term.

 

We’ve known this since 1990, and have taken action: not enough, and not fast enough. But it is a start.

 

What are the current climate goals? How are they supported by science? With the Climate Line, The Friday Group provides insight into the IPCC climate reports and climate agreements at the international, European, Belgian and regional levels.

 

Now that you too know, it’s time for action!

 

“As for the future, it is not about predicting it, but about making it possible.”

Antoine de Saint Exupéry (Citadelle, 1948), “IPCC Report 1.5°C Global Warming”
