7. Call to Action

Who is asking for it?

The world is on the brink of a climate catastrophe and current actions and plans to address the crisis are insufficient. Emissions should already be decreasing now and will need to be cut almost by half by 2030 - a mere seven years from now. To combat climate change and its impacts by 2030, urgent and transformative action is needed to meet the commitments under the Paris Agreement across mitigation and adaptation efforts.
