The climate chaos freight train is coming for this place.
UNEP (2025): "To date however no NDCs set targets to reduce oil
and gas production or trim inefficient fossil fuel subsidies."
A 25% reduction is needed for 2030 emissions to be aligned with 2°C
(Translation ~5.5% reduction required PER YEAR 2026-2030)
A 35% reduction is needed for 2035 emissions to be aligned with 2°C
(Translation ~4.2% reduction required PER YEAR 2026-2035)
There is absolutely not a day to lose.
Also do you have a personal resilience plan?

But we are indeed well on our way.
We do however, have it in our hands to prevent every 0.1°C after 2°C. The technology is there. The know-how is there.

According to the latest UNEP estimate there is a 92% certainty that we will cross 2ºC of heating.
What happens then?

"Since atmospheric GHGs [which increased by +2.3% in 2024] drive global warming, [this is] ultimately the metric that matters for meeting the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement."
Unless these decline we are on a steady march to hell
