About this Discussion

According to the IPCC, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the concentration has been rising steadily. The most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is largely the product of burning fossil fuels. 

There is alarming evidence that important tipping points, leading to irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system, may already have been reached or passed. One of the most urgent challenges facing countries across the world today is how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also combating climate change.

The Paris climate change agreement commits nations to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with countries pledging to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions – through a combination of mitigation and adaptation measures – by 2030.

Did you know there’s another COP?

With just months to go until UN Biodiversity COP15, countries left Geneva without resolving many of the key elements of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Observers said the talks moved at a “glacial pace”, with some raising concerns that countries are “heading for Copenhagen” – a reference to the 2009 climate summit that was widely perceived to have ended in failure.

Read Elizabeth Mrema, chief of the Convention of Biological Diversity, reflections on the negotiations and her hope - which I personally completely support - climate change and biodiversity loss should be tackled together as one problem at UN summits in future.
