Critical Decade presentation

The Critical Decade

Changes in our climate are clear.

The atmosphere is warming …

And the ocean is warming.

More heat is being trapped by the

atmosphere.

Human activities are making it warmer.

The changes are affecting our

world in many ways.

And rainfall patterns.

Some of these changes are

Countries are acting to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions…

And renewables are increasing…

But there is an overspend in the

carbon budget.

This is the critical decade for action.
