"Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels requires
reaching net zero emissions by the middle of this century. This means that, in
less than three decades, we need to reverse more than a century of rising
emissions
and bring annual emissions down to near zero, while balancing out
all remaining unavoidable emissions by actively removing carbon from the
atmosphere.
To help speed this process as individuals, we've got to do everything we can to
cut down our use of fossil fuels. But many people aren't aware of the most
effective ways to do this. Thankfully, the latest report by the UN climate
change panel IPCC devotes a chapter to all the ways in which changes in
people's behavior can accelerate the transition to net zero.
The chapter includes an analysis of 60 individual actions which can help fight
climate change, building on research led by Diana Ivanova at the University of
Leeds – and to which I contributed.
We grouped these actions into three areas: avoiding consumption, shifting
consumption and improving consumption (making it more efficient). The charts
below, produced for the IPCC report, show what we found."
