Unless ‘climate neutrality’ is strictly defined as ‘zero global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions’ in the Paris Agreement, which seems very unlikely at this stage of the negotiations, it is clear that it will lead to an undermining of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This paper analyses “fair and adequate” emission reduction ranges for 2025, 2030 and 2050 for Brazil, India and South Africa, largest economies and a set of African countries.

This document provides key points on risks to ecosystems, food security and sustainable development associated with 1.5°C warming. It also provides responses to arguments commonly made against 1.5°C and provides the scientific evidence for each point made.

This briefing note outlines the scientific conditions under which warming can be limited to well below 2°C over the 21st century, and return to below 1.5°C by 2100.
