How can we work together to reduce global emissions by one billion tonnes a year?
In this Podcast Zaid Hassan and Lucy White discuss how groups of individuals can get together to help reduce carbon emissions through the gigatonne challenge
\nAverting dangerous climate change is imperative. While we know \u201cwhat\u201d should be done, there seems to be little clarity as to \u201chow\u201d to do it.
\nAccording to the science, global emissions need to peak and start declining by at least a billion tonnes of CO2e per year. If this doesn\u2019t happen within the next decade we will likely see global temperatures breaching +3-6 degrees, leading to the catastrophic failure of key systems that we depend on for survival.
\nIf you imagine the challenge of reducing a billion tonnes of emissions a year as climbing Mt Everest, how do we learn to climb such a daunting peak?
