The difference between 1.5°C & 3°C global warming means vastly different scenarios for the future.
Our survival on this planet hinges on these few degrees.

🌡️🐘 The climate and biodiversity emergencies amplify each other, so must be solved together.
We need to urgently phase out #FossilFuels and ramp up clean energy systems. #NaturebasedSolutions are a powerful ally to go with those efforts.
