The global community has limited time to act on climate change mitigation if it wants to avoid the irreversible, catastrophic impacts. Two reports, this year, have raised the “red alert”. First is “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector”, by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which underscores the scale and urgency of action that must be undertaken to ensure that, in the next three decades, all nations remain on-track to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement of 2015. There is also “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, Working Group I, Contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report” of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which warns of the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that will affect economies and people across the world.
