About the Series:
This series will explore the science, impacts and solutions associated with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels through talks and discussions. In the SCIENCE presentation we will examine where we are in terms of global warming and discuss whether or not the 1.5 degrees limit is feasible from a geophysical perspective. In the IMPACTS presentation we will explore the benefits of keeping global warming to below 1.5 degrees compared to future scenarios with global warming of 2 and 4 degrees. In the SOLUTIONS session we will look at how we may achieve the 1.5 goal and what global, regional and local actions are required, considering implications for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
