| 1.5 degrees heating |
It’s simple — to keep global warming below 1.5°C, coal, oil + gas needs to stay in the ground.
On October 8, 2018, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a special report on keeping
warming below 1.5°C. It was a wake-up call to the world that the window
for avoiding runaway climate change is closing — fast.
To have any chance of staying under 1.5°C of warming, no new fossil fuel project can be allowed to go ahead.
The fossil fuel industry is knowingly causing
the climate crisis. Every institution and every single level of
government has a role to play in stopping this reckless industry before
it’s too late.
We must demand that all institutions withdraw
their support from the fossil fuel industry — be that investments,
sponsorships, subsidies or permits — and stand up to the industry before
it’s too late.
