Our actions are pushing us ever closer to 1.5 °C of global warming and we are wiping out species at an unprecedented rate.

The more we interfere with Earth’s natural cycles, the more we put the survival of our own species at risk with hotter and more extreme conditions leading to wildfires, floods, crop failures and further deadly pandemics.

Political leaders and industries have known about these threats for decades but have failed to act accordingly. Our own government is now ignoring scientific advice and widespread public support for a green recovery from the coronavirus crisis.

Due to this lack of urgency in dealing with the climate crisis we are now just years away from reaching the 1.5 °C threshold and on track, according to the latest scientific advice, for a terrifying 4 °C of warming.
