"Many numbers are bandied around in climate emergency discussions. Of
them, 1.5°C is perhaps the most important. At the Paris Agreement in
2015, governments agreed to limit global warming to well below 2°C and
to aim for 1.5°C. By 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
– the UN body tasked with relaying the science of climate breakdown to
the world – had made worryingly clear in a special report how much
graver the consequences of the higher number would be.
Together with the University of Queensland’s Ove Hoegh-Guldberg and
colleagues around the world, we’ve explored in newly published work just
how much sticking to 1.5°C matters."
