CLIMATE ANALYSIS
CLIMATE CRISIS AND CLIMATE DENIAL
Ambitious actions are already underway around the world that can offer insight into CRDPs for limiting warming to 1.5°C. For example, some countries have adopted clean energy and sustainable transport while creating environmentally friendly jobs and supporting social welfare programmes to reduce domestic poverty. Other examples teach us about different ways to promote development through practices inspired by community values. For instance, Buen Vivir, a Latin American concept based on indigenous ideas of communities living in harmony with nature, is aligned with peace; diversity; solidarity; rights to education, health, and safe food, water, and energy; and well-being and justice for all. The Transition Movement, with origins in Europe, promotes equitable and resilient communities through low-carbon living, food self-sufficiency and citizen science. Such examples indicate that pathways that reduce poverty and inequalities while limiting warming to 1.5°C are possible and that they can provide guidance on pathways towards socially desirable, equitable and low-carbon futures.

THE SCIENCE
Climate warming in the Antarctic is something that we have barely seen so far, however due to the ozone hole pulling the jet stream further south, the Antarctic is becoming dryer and unable to sustain some of its lifeforms. This is concerning as the moss beds that support the majority of life in the Antarctic is finding themselves unable to survive in the dry climate. This will only lead to worse conditions in the Antarctic and a loss of native species. (BBC News)
