The complexities of climate change and its associated jargon can prove difficult to digest.
TheCable’s quick climate facts will help demystify these concepts through easy-to-understand and straight-to-the-point explanations.
Here are some to keep at the tip of your fingers:
- A new report by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) says the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) fall miles short of what is needed to meet net-zero goal.
- A report by the Lancet Countdown says rising temperatures are causing more deaths and the spread of infectious diseases globally, while also worsening drought and food security.
- The report added that climate change, especially in 2023, which was the hottest year on record, added 50 extra days of dangerously high temperatures for the average person.
- The Conserve Energy Future says about 15 percent of the carbon released into the environment is caused by deforestation and change in the use of land.
