Can We Still Slow Down the Pace of Climate Change?
Yes, but the window for limiting warming to 1.5°C or even 2°C above pre-industrial levels is closing rapidly, necessitating unprecedented and immediate action across all sectors. Slowing the pace requires a systemic transformation centered on several non-negotiable pillars: a phased and rapid elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, a massive acceleration in deploying solar, wind, and geothermal energy, and significant investment in grid modernization and energy storage. It also demands innovation in carbon capture technologies, a global shift towards circular economies and sustainable agriculture, and the protection and restoration of carbon sinks like forests, peatlands, and oceans. The solutions exist, but their implementation requires political will, international solidarity, and significant financial investment directed toward a green transition.
