The Planet’s Temperature Will Rise 3.9°C, Despite The Covid-19 Crisis
Today is the International Day against Climate Change. Schroders analyzes how the Covid-19 crisis has influenced this phenomenon. The conclusion is that, despite the fact that confinements have reduced greenhouse gas emissions, the forecasts for global warming are still far above the commitment made in Paris in 2015. In particular, the latest update of the Schroders Climate Progress Dashboard suggests that the current speed of climate action will increase temperatures by 3.9°C, almost twice the Paris Agreement target of 2°C.
