The interactions of climate change and climate responses with sustainable development including sustainable development impacts at 1.5°C and 2°C.

15°C

A rise in sea levels of even a few meters can endanger thousands of miles of coastline. Considering majority of humans live near a coast, thousands of lives could be affected.

Carbon Dioxide is a heat trapping gas, and accumulation of it drives the greenhouse effect. As CO2 levels rise, the greenhouse effect becomes more intense, which heats the atmosphere.

Ice and snow cover in the arctic reflects sunlight, in something called the albedo effect. Ice alone can reflect 40% of sunlight, and ice covered in snow can reflect up to 80% of sunlight.

The world's 3,000 largest companies cause $2.2 trillion in environmental damage every year. Limiting the impact of corporations by reducing carbon output, air pollution, and damage caused by over-use can improve how the environment survives human activity. 0%100%
Trees are a natural carbon sink. They naturally absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into oxygen, reducing the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. If deforestation levels are low, then more trees can absorb carbon. 0%100%
Technology that can actively reduce the amount of carbon in the air can greatly impact global warming and climate change. Limited greenhouse gasses in the air slow down the feedback loops that might damage the Amazon ecosystem beyond repair. 0%100%
Using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels limit the expulsion of greenhouse gasses. Things like solar, wind, and geothermal energy can power our cities and homes without as much damage to the environment. 0%100%
Every human uses energy in their daily life, in the energy it takes to produce our food and power our homes every day. When there are less humans living on Earth, there’s less energy needed to maintain civilization. 0%100%
If more people share one vehicle, less people burn energy in their personal vehicles. One bus fit as many people as around 60 cars. It’s simple math! High usage of public transport can help lower greenhouse gas emissions. 0%100%
