The world is heading past 1.5°C. Reaching net zero is essential to stop further warming, but reversing the overshoot will require removing carbon from the atmosphere. Adaptation and faster emissions cuts are urgent too, Nicholas Stern writes. #ClimateChange #NetZero
We’re heading past 1.5°C. Now we need a plan for what comes next
As the world heads towards overshooting 1.5°C, reaching net zero remains essential but will not be enough to bring temperatures back down. Governments must accelerate emissions cuts while investing in adaptation, carbon removal and research into the risks of geoengineering.

Some types of engines, turbines and chimneys are allowed to emit more pollution than others.
This will have significant implications for our #netzero future.

Really powerful research here showing just how much the facts around netzero have been distorted….
British public vastly overestimates cost of getting to net zero - by a staggering 14,000%.
On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to just 0.2%.
We need a National Emergency Briefing❗️
