New climate commitments

Private and public organizations are joining the action on climate change and seek to limit the average increase in global temperature to 1.5 ° C, as well as achieve clean emissions by 2050. To date, 177 participants have committed to establish these objectives, according to reports analyzed by Gustavo Copelmayer; however, last July, the temperature rose to 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, matching and even beating the record for the hottest month since there are records and confirming a trend of a continuous rise.

The set of extreme weather events worldwide means that the planet is on track to record the five hottest years in history, according to the United Nations report related to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. For that reason, it is understood that countries must present updated and improved plans in 2020, hence the importance of the current mobilization to achieve an efficient and committed strategy within all the different sectors, points Gustavo Copelmayer.
