The world will warm by 3.2°C this century even if all the policies to cut carbon that governments have so far adopted were fully implemented. The high overshoot will increase climate risks for vulnerable regions and societies, causing unprecedented heatwaves, terrifying storms, and widespread water shortages and irreversible destructive impacts in vulnerable ecosystems. This report is a desperate plea for the massive scaling of renewable energy technologies and infrastructure, improvements in energy efficiency, and reductions in energy consumption. Although we know this and have the solutions to keep the worst from happening, we fail to take the needed urgent action.
