Background
■Global phenomenon of gradual increase in
average temperature of earth surface and
oceans due to anthropogenic activity and
natural activity.
■Climate remained stable over the one or
two thousand year before 1850(pre
industrial period) except regionally varying
fluctuations.
■Currently, the average global temperature
is approximately 1°C above pre industrial
level.
Trends of temperature rise

�1880 and 2012, the


global average (land
and ocean) surface
temperature
increased by 0.85
[0.65 to
1.06] °C. Since 1979
the rate of warming
has approximately
doubled
(0.13±0.03 °C per
decade,
against 0.07±0.02 °C 
per decade) Temp diffrence
Alaraming
■Global temperature is likely to rise above
1.5 °C between 2030 and 2050.
■All country committed under the paris
agreement to limit the global temperature
rise to 1.5˚C and not to exceed 2˚C. 
■We are not in track to meet climate change
target and rein in temperature increase.
What is 1.5% goal ?
■ Limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 °C
compared with 2°C to reduce challenging
impacts on ecosystem, human health and
well-being" .
■ And that a 2 °C temperature increase
would exacerbate extreme weather, rising
sea levels and diminishing Arctic sea ice,
coral bleaching, and loss of ecosystems,
among other impact.
What diffrence half degree
could make ?

Extreme heat 14% 37% 2.6X
Sea ice free arctic At least 1 every At least 1 every 10x worse

Sea level rise 0.40 meter per 0.46 meter per 0.6 m more

Coral reefs 70-90% 99% up to29 % rise

Net zero emission
�In addition to large emissions cuts in the
next decade emissions will be on average
need to reduce to zero by mid century
�Air pollution leading to climate change
must be addressed
�Critical role of short lived but highly potent
pollutants such as methane and
hydrofluorocarbons
�Co2 dominates long term warming,
reduction of other pollutants can
contributes to the 1.5 goal
Reducing the emisions
�Annual emissions need to be about half  by
2030 to limit warming to 1.5˚C
�behavior and technologies will need to shift
across the board in order to achieve these
emissions reductions. 
�Energy efficency and fuel switching for
transportation ,reducing energy demand
,improving efficency of food production
reducing food loss and waste have
significant potential to reduce emmisions
Unprecedeted
�There is no precedent in our documented
history for the rate of change at the scale
required for limiting warming to 1.5˚C
�Shifting will need to be made across land
energy industries urban and other systems
�monumental shift will require substantial new
investments in low-carbon technologies and
efficiency
�investments in low-carbon energy technology
and energy efficiency will need increase by
roughly a factor of five by 2050 compared to
2015 levels.
