PARIS: Corporations and consumers are the main obstacle to the emissions cuts needed to keep global warming to the 1.5 degree Celsius limit, researchers said on Wednesday , adding that"positive signs" in other areas are not yet enough to meet climate goals.
"We see all kinds of positive signs, for example, the political protests, divestment decisions, climate litigation cases, transnational initiatives, this is all on the rise," said one of the study authors Anita Engels."So you could think that we are really on a good track."The report, the Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook, assessed the plausibility of achieving the emissions reductions necessary to limit temperatures in line with the Paris Agreement.
Researchers looked at 10 societal factors that they considered to be the most important drivers of decarbonisation and found that currently none are yet at a level that would lead to the dramatic emissions reductions needed by 2050.
