.Earth Domain Users Provide Wide-Range of Carbon-Reduction Solutions
Three years ago, the United Nations (UN) published an alarming report about how current CO2 concentrations, and ongoing emissions of greenhouse gases, will result in global temperatures rising above pre-industrial levels.
Fast-forward to today, and the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is further sounding the alarm around this issue – in time for the U.N. General Assembly, which is happening this week.
Guterres warned that that climate change is proceeding faster than predicted, which is being driven by the bounce-back in fossil fuel emissions from the pandemic dip.
“Unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we will be unable to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit),” said Guterres in this AP article. “The consequences will be catastrophic.”
In February, we published a Voices.Earth blog post that highlighted how there’s a wide-range of .Earth domain users offering carbon-reduction solutions. These offerings are targeted to both consumers and businesses, and provide real tools for taking the right actions to get to “net zero.”
