DETAILS
Had a sweltering summer ? Climate change may be front of mind, albeit temporarily. But authorities (International, regional & national) are not acting urgently or comprehensively enough.
We are already +1.5°c warmer, with +2°c expected by the end of this century. This is a planetary and human rights catastrophe.
