Last Call for Climate Action – Infographics

COP26 in Glasgow, UK, is a chance for leaders from all countries in the world to make 2021 the necessary turning point for taking action on the climate emergency. Yet despite commitments, pledges and promises there is a vast and growing gap between ambition and action with sufficient GHG emission reductions to limit the worst consequences. Climate impacts are already widespread, rapid, and intensifying across all regions of the world. And the need for – and cost of – climate adaptation will only grow along GHG emissions and global temperatures.

The UN Environment Programme has released three flagship reports to help ensure the latest science is at the fingertips of decision makers – and we are at COP26 to make the case for adequate and acute action now. This infographic aims to make the information more understandable in visual form.
