How Post-War Justice Strategies Can Be Applied to the Climate Crisis

In 2010, for example, we knew that at least 20 countries had the highest emissions and the least climate vulnerability at the national level—an inequality that has only been exacerbated since. The IPCC still plays this role today, with the sixth assessment cycle of reports published earlier this year.

But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.

I had just turned nine years old in 1988 when one of the world’s most prominent and daring climate scientists James Hansen gave evidence to the US Congress on the link between fossil fuels and climate change. Today, wind energy production is a global industry rivalling the fossil fuel industry. This has since changed many times.

The UN agency concluded global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are at the highest levels in human history and without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors limiting climate change to 1.5°C They pointed to the fact that since 2010 the cost of solar, wind and battery technology has decreased by up to 85%.

Climate scientists are interested in clouds for exactly this reason- clouds reflect sunlight, which has a cooling effect on surface temperatures. 2010, November 2).

However, detection and attribution methods can also be used to quantify the relationship between a specific GHG contribution and specific consequences of climate change, such as temperature and sea level rise. But the ESA requires that the government conduct a scientific assessment before it reaches that conclusion. 3 ; Laidre et al.
