Human-induced climate change is the defining issue of our time, and how we act over the next 10-15 years will determine humanity's future over the next millennium. Global temperature has already risen 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels. We are already seeing many of the environmental and socio-economic consequences of climate change today. Climate change leads to rising seas, flooding, fires and drought. As a result, millions of people worldwide are being displaced, driven to poverty and hunger, denied access to health and education. Climate change is expanding inequalities, stifling economic growth and causing conflict.
