State of Climate Action 2022
The World Resources Institute (WRI) is leading advocate of climate improvement and action for people around the world. It provides research, data, drives initiatives, and offers insights on the state of the climate and world today and how we can take needed changes. Leading up to COP27, WRI released its annual State of Climate Action Report, highlighting that significant acceleration of action is needed this decade to keep the keep the 1.5°C temperature limit within reach.
The State of Climate Action 2022 provides a comprehensive assessment of the gap in climate action by highlighting where recent progress must accelerate over the next decade across power, buildings, industry, transport, forests and land, food and agriculture, technological carbon removal, and finance.
The report translates the systemwide transformations that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finds are necessary to limit warming to 1.5°C into 40 indicators of progress with 2030 and 2050 targets, such as phasing out unabated coal in electricity generation, effectively halting deforestation and much more.
We encourage you each to take a look at this thoughtful and detailed piece to learn more about where we are headed and what we can do. You can find the report here or if interested more broadly in these types of issues visit WRI’s website here. We could not be more proud of the work of our partner WRI and look forward to helping you produce impactful pieces that make an impact!
“My hero!”
