Individual Behaviours

The Earth system of our world is increasingly precarious – and our inaction is making things worse. Despite ambitious plans, our growing energy demands are still mostly met by fossil fuels. Without immediate and radical change, the rise in global temperatures will soon threaten many species and human lives.

Decarbonisation is made harder by continued investment in carbon-intensive materials, processes and ways of life. We need urgent global action to prevent a climate catastrophe.

In this future, we’ve rebalanced our climate. We’ve replaced fossil fuels with renewable energy and still met the energy demand.

Through a concerted effort to keep global temperature increase below 1.5ºC, the worst possible climate disasters have been avoided.

And with sustainable investment, we’ve decarbonised industrial sectors like manufacturing, transportation and electricity. Women, youth, and indigenous people are also at the forefront of global and local decision-making processes.

This isn’t just a future we want. It’s a future we need.

The world continues to rely on fossil fuels while global energy demands increase

Renewable energy has replaced fossil fuels, and our increased energy needs are met by renewables and energy saving efforts

Earth's global surface temperature is rising beyond 1.5℃

The increase of global temperature is kept below 1.5ºC

Extreme climate conditions are destroying homes and habitats around the world

Climate disasters continue, but catastrophic events are avoided

Energy decisions fail to include women, young people, or indigenous populations, resulting in distorted planning

Women, youth, indigenous people, and other marginalised groups are part of the conversation and decision-making on energy and climate actions

It’s difficult to decarbonise transport, steel, cement and chemicals industries due to technical factors, processing emissions and materials

Industrial innovations changed production processes in difficult to decarbonise sectors

Continued investment in new coal fire plants, combustion-engine vehicles, and other carbon-intensive activities slow positive change

Global financial schemes are developed to support renewable infrastructure, industrial innovation, green transport in developed as well as emergent economies

The climate is on the brink of breakdown. How can we save its fragile systems?

How can we make our energy systems fully renewable?

How can we make sure everyone has a say in the future of our planet?

How do we decarbonise the most carbon-intensive industries?

What is the impact of our individual actions in the climate crisis?
