We Can Fix Climate ChangeThe future of our planet is at stake. We are in the midst of a climate emergency, and the window to act is closing fast. The 2024 UNEP Emissions Gap Report highlights the stark choices we face: limit global warming to 1.5°C, struggle to adapt to 2°C, or face catastrophic consequences at 2.6°C and beyond.
There are three possible futures based on our collective action—or inaction. Will we rally together, raise our ambitions, and reduce global emissions? Or will we continue down a dangerous path that threatens ecosystems, economies, and lives? The choice is ours.
It’s time to invest in renewable energy, protect nature, and level up our global response to the climate crisis. Every fraction of a degree matters. Join the call for urgent, decisive action.

The report is the 15th edition in a series that brings together many of the world’s top climate scientists to look at future trends in greenhouse gas emissions and provide potential solutions to the challenge of global warming.
Summary
It’s climate crunch time; we can either limit global warming to 1.5°C with collective action or face severe consequences with higher temperatures.
Highlights
- 🌍 Scenario One: We Win – Limit warming to 1.5°C with a 42% emissions cut by 2030.
- ☀️ Renewable Investments – Massive investments in solar and wind energy transform our future.
- 🌳 Nature Protection – Protecting ecosystems is vital for economic and environmental health.
- ⚖️ Scenario Two: We Survive – Limit warming to 2°C with only a 28% emissions cut; adaptation comes at a high cost.
- 🌊 Climate Impacts – Heatwaves, floods, and rising seas challenge our communities.
- 🚨 Scenario Three: We Fail – Warming exceeds 2.6°C; ecosystems collapse and human lives are at risk.
- 🙌 1.5°C is Possible – A united effort can secure a sustainable future; the choice is ours.
