Climate Change Reality

• “The latest science makes it clear that the world needs to reach zero carbon emissions globally by 2050 to maximise chances of staying below 2 degrees and to make 1.5 degrees feasible,”… Mary Robinson, NUI maynooth, Summer 2015.

• Paris: “long term <2.0°C” / ”or 1.5°C”*

• February 2016 is 1.55°C-1.75°C* - Nasa

• White Paper: 80%-95% CO2 by 2050

Without citizens and communities demanding change and being part of the transition, the transition will not happen. Without value for citizens & communities, they won’t demand change.
