Did you know that the next 2 years are pivotal in the fight against climate change? The actions countries take today can shape the future by 2025. Our Cassie Flynn breaks down how. #ClimatePromise

Transcript

Every day we are witnessing more frequent and devastating climate impacts around the world. Droughts, floods, extreme heat. Every person in the world is affected and the costs of these impacts is mounting. And we must ask, can humanity come together to turn things around? The answer is yes, but we must act quickly. One of our best opportunities to limit these impacts is over the next two years. For a long time, the international community worked and often struggled to find the best way to tackle climate change. Then in 2015, something exceptional happened. The world came together and adopted the Paris Agreement. Despite the display of solidarity that countries brought to Paris, the first NBC they presented in 2015 put the world on a trajectory. Of a potential 3.5�� increase in average temperatures, a 3. 5�� increase would be devastating. It would make many parts of the planet unlivable. Fast forward five years later, which brings us to 2020. Countries started putting forward the second generation of NDC's. These new pledges, if implemented fully, would shave off a full degree of warming. And while at 2.5�� increase isn't the scenario we want, it is a step in the right direction. Now here is why the next two years. Are absolutely critical in 2025, countries have to submit the third generation of NBC's. Imagine if we can take another bold step. Imagine if we can collectively shave off another degree and put the world on a 1.5�� pathway. This would be a game changer for all of us. No country can tackle the climate crisis alone. We need to act together when next generations look back. What if we could tell them 2025 was the moment we made a safe and sustainable future? Possible.

We need to see on how to make energy transitions especially from burning of fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy, how to find solutions for climate financing, protect nature and build more resilient solutions.
