This book intends to untangle the Climate Change discussion, keeping it unbiased, factual, scientific, and, above all, unpoliticized. In Paris in December 2015, all members of the United Nations agreed to hold temperature increases below 2°C and as close as possible to 1.5°C. Probably the best we can hope for now is holding increases globally to less than 2.0°C. This could be achieved if the world moves decisively towards zero net emissions by 2050. To absorb the impact of the raised temperatures the UK and other countries will have to spend billions to mitigate impacts. The intention is…mehr

This book intends to untangle the Climate Change discussion, keeping it unbiased, factual, scientific, and, above all, unpoliticized. In Paris in December 2015, all members of the United Nations agreed to hold temperature increases below 2°C and as close as possible to 1.5°C. Probably the best we can hope for now is holding increases globally to less than 2.0°C. This could be achieved if the world moves decisively towards zero net emissions by 2050. To absorb the impact of the raised temperatures the UK and other countries will have to spend billions to mitigate impacts. The intention is shedding light on climate change and Net-Zero target strategies. Europe has this summer of 2021 a new European Climate Law. It aims at transforming political promises into a binding legal obligation and send a strong political signal to Europe's partners and businesses. It will write Europe's climate neutrality target for 2050 into law and propose the path to get there. It will give European citizens and businesses the predictability, transparency, and accountability they need for this collective transformation. Opportunities for new business roles will open. Through the European Climate Law, the European Commission proposes a legally binding target of Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The EU Institutions and the Member States are bound to take the necessary measures to meet the EU and national levels. How to use the opportunity? After Covid19, can we recover and improve prosperity? Before the pandemic, sustainability was rising in importance. However, the most devastating event suddenly materialized. The magnitude and impacts of the crisis Covid19 created and its consequences will be a heavy burden in the coming years. Can the world afford to pay attention to climate change and the broader sustainability plan at this time? The idea with the book is that there is no option. We need to embrace the strategy to achieve Net-Zero by 2050 to overcome both the pandemic crisis and achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible. Massive action and opportunities will be available in most areas of the economy. Delaying further the Net-Zero actions is huge gambling waiting for a crisis that will dwarf Covid19 as a mild event. Climate change is a different type of enemy. The climate events are already accumulating strength in a phenomenal built-up with gradual and cumulative power to deploy multiple attacks with undefendable blows. The pandemic could have a dynamic response measured in weeks, months, and years where actions produce results in weeks. The climate events' time scale has its answer and continued strength creating a fight to last for years, decades and centuries. The impacts in an already fragile economy are unbearable.
