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 study aims to create insight in how Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) perform in describing the climate forcing by non-CO₂ gases and aerosols.

Here we assess how emissions from short-lived non-CO₂ species like methane, hydrofluorocarbons, black-carbon, and sulphates influence CO₂ budgets.

The Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) has reviewed the adequacy of the agreed Long Term Goal of holding warming below 2°C. It has now released a technical summary - showing 2°C limit is too warm for many vulnerable systems and regions, and a 1.5°C limit would be significantly safer.

Produced in collaboration with the African Climate Finance Hub, the report says deep global emissions reductions are the best way to head off Africa’s crippling adaptation costs.
