Transport is considered as one of the the largest sources of air pollution emissions today.
Coastal temperate rainforests once covered 1% of the Earth. Less then half now remains.
Global climate change, driven largely by the combustion of fossil fuels and by deforestation, is a growing threat to human well-being in developing and industrialized nations alike.
Out of the original 1.9 million acres of redwood forest only 106,000 acres of old-growth forest are standing, less than 5% remain.
It is very important to understand the impacts of 1.5°C global warming above pre-industrial levels and related global emission pathways in the context of strengthening the response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
Two starkly different futures diverge from this time forward. Society's current path leads to increasingly serious climate-change impacts, including potentially catastrophic changes in climate that will compromise efforts to achieve development objectives where there is poverty and will threaten standards of living where there is affluence.
