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.
