The latest report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that the planet will reach the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by as early as 2030, triggering the risk of extreme drought, wildfires, floods and food shortages for hundreds of millions of people – posing a threat to the achievement of the entire Agenda 2030.
