Infographic: Achieving the Paris Agreement long-term temperature goal
2018
The UN Paris Climate Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial global temperature. Download the infographic for further details.
"The message could not be clearer. Widespread, concerted and sustained action across the economy is needed to cut carbon emissions down to zero and limit the risks of a warming climate."
Big increase in economic costs if emissions cuts are delayed
2018
Stronger efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions should be undertaken to avoid global warming of more than 1.5˚C - without relying on potentially more expensive or risky technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere or reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface.
Our Tyndall Centre UEA and Manchester authors bring together in one volume the technical, scientific, social, economic and governance issues relating to the potential deployment of Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) as a key approach to climate change mitigation.
The research by Newcastle University has for the first time analysed changes in flooding, droughts and heatwaves for all European cities using all climate models.
