Lucky in the sky. Happy humanity? Happy nature? Happy planet? 1.5 degrees? 2 degrees? Or more? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says 2023: To limit the rise in global warming to a maximum of 2 degrees, emissions would have to be significantly reduced by 2030. According to the report, half of the world’s population lives in regions that have to fear severe weather events: An estimated 3.3 to 3.6 billion people in areas considered „highly vulnerable“.
Climate justice is therefore central. According to the report, those who contribute least to the warming of the planet suffer the most.
