Reminder to register for the major HPAC online conference on October 15-16

[Garrity, Dennis]

Dear HPAC members,

 

Register now!

 

The Healthy Planet Action Coalition is convening a crucial global online conference on October 15-16. The topic is The Global Heating Emergency. Preventing 2 degrees by 2040: What’s the Plan.

 

We are informing the global populace about some very important messages. We’ve got a stellar roster of speakers, a great web site (www.preventing2degrees.org) and our publicity blitz is under way. 

 

We’ve invited all of the 195 delegations to the Belem COP, and numerous folks in the UN agencies, multilateral banks, the climate science community, and many thousands of others in the general public around the world to join us.

 

Below are two versions of the conference announcement. The relatively short version on top is most suitable for social media posts. The second and longer version below is for our email notifications.

 

I’m hoping that you will do the following as soon as possible:

 

• Have a look at the conference website: www.preventing2degrees.org
• Register for the event (no charge) at: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ImlepnSOTg6kXgaWwGRE7Q#/registration  

If you register but can’t make it to the event then we will send you a video link to the entire event soon afterward.

• Share the announcement far and wide: Publicize it through all of your personal and social networks.

 

Many thanks, and Onwards!

Despite 195 countries agreeing 10 years ago to stop global warming well below 2 degrees C, temperatures are now rising at twice the rate of previous decades. At this pace, the UN COP Paris Agreement’s critical red line is likely to be breached by the late 2030’s —just over a decade from now. 

 

JOIN US!

 

You are cordially invited to attend an online conference on The Global Heating Emergency | Preventing 2°C by 2040: What’s the Plan? on October 15-16, 2025. We will discuss why global heating has accelerated, what the consequences are for people and the planet, and what immediate, practical steps we must take to develop and implement a new, integrated climate plan for humanity. 

The conference is open to all: the public, scientists, decision-makers, and anyone who cares about the future of life on Earth. There is no charge for participating. For more info and to register to join, visit preventing2degrees.org.

 

 

You are cordially invited to attend an online conference on The Global Heating Emergency | Preventing 2°C by 2040: What’s the Plan? to be held on October 15 – 16, 2025. In Paris in 2015, 195 countries committed to stop global warming at 1.5°C, or at least well below 2°C. Yet, the latest science shows that instead of slowing down, temperatures are now rising at twice the rate of previous decades. The Paris Agreement’s critical red line of ‘well-below 2°C’ will be exceeded even earlier—by 2037—just 12 years from now.    Learn More    The Healthy Planet Action Coalition is bringing together scientists, policymakers, and concerned citizens for a global online conference to build awareness about why temperatures are accelerating, and what this means for humanity. We seek to create momentum for a more comprehensive global action plan to address the new realities that we are facing – before it’s too late. We are nearly out of time to avert 2°C. But there are tools in the toolbox that can buy more time to stop global heating in the short term, while we strive to bring down emissions in the medium to long term. Over two days, we will host five hours of discussion that will address: Why is global heating now accelerating so much faster than before? What are the consequences to people and the planet if we fail to act immediately? How can we stop temperatures from rising and avert catastrophic heating: What’s the plan? What immediate, practical steps can we take to develop and implement a new, integrated climate plan for humanity? The conference is open to all: the public, scientists, decision-makers, and anyone who cares about the future of life on Earth. There is no charge for participating. For more information on the latest temperature projections and conference, visit preventing2degrees.org.
