Climate Change : How to survive past 2050

Energy use in our homes, industry and transport accounts for two thirds of our total human induced carbon dioxide emissions. Far from dramatically reducing since the 'historic' Paris agreement in 2015, those emissions have actually started to creep back up. The world is now catastrophically off track to meet any of the lower pathways set out by the IPCC special report published in 2018. We know what we must do. So why aren't we doing it.? This week we look at a new report just out from the International Renewable Energy Agency, which provides a stark assessment of what's required.
