Target 1.5 degrees: What are the barriers?

In early February 2024, scientists at the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service released findings which showed that temperatures across the year 2023 exceeded a 1.5 degree rise above pre-industrial levels.

This was the level at which world leaders had previously pledged to cap global temperature rises. Faced with the latest evidence of the inadequate progress in tackling climate change, we need to understand: what are the barriers to change?

What psychological, logistical, financial, economic, and political challenges stand in the way of us making a huge leap forward in protecting ourselves and our planet from the climate crisis?

These were the topics discussed during Target 1.5 degrees: What are the barriers?, an event hosted by Global Compassion Coalition and featuring nonprofit leader Ciara Byrne alongside WCC’s Dr. Janet Salisbury and Dr. Lynne Reeder.
