>My fellow IPCC authors and I have spent years combing through the evidence, and have found that there are things we can do right now across all areas of life—including the basic choices you and I make every day—that can cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than half by 2030.

>That’s the short-term target required to keep us on track to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius—the global target outlined in the Paris Agreement—which science has a identified as a key threshold to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

>Many of these solutions will result in cleaner air and more jobs, but can also save money for governments, businesses and consumers.
