Presentation: What if we miss the target?
Watch our presentation and debate at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties, COP24, hosted by Poland in December 2018.
What if we miss the target?
Current emissions pathways are taking us above the Paris Agreement goals. We presented the latest science on impacts of climate change at 1.5°C, 2°C and 4°C global warming at the UNFCCC Conference in Katowice, Poland.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE HELIX PROJECT TO THE IPCC’S SPECIAL REPORT ON GLOBAL WARMING OF 1.5C
HELIX supported the production of the IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C in several important ways. 1. The decision by the IPCC to go ahead with the report With the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the IPCC to provide a Special Report in 2018 on […]
HELIX members to contribute to all IPCC 6th Assessment Report Working Groups

The Report will inform policymakers, international climate negotiators and other stakeholders about the latest knowledge on all aspects of climate change. The bureaux […]
Climate change could raise food insecurity risk
Our research suggests that weather extremes caused by climate change could raise the risk of food shortages in many countries. We looked at the difference between global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C and found that – despite increased vulnerability to food insecurity in both scenarios – the effects could be worse for most countries at 2°C.
