The recent and monumental climate change report from the IPCC gave a stark code red warning to humanity and the impact it is making on the environment. The first major scientific study on climate since 2013, it gave a sombre message on the urgency that is necessary to tackle climate change.

If we are to win the race against climate change, the message is clear — the world needs to change, and it needs to do so fast. To have a chance of limiting global warming to a necessary 1.5°C, we need to radically cut our emissions and move the global energy sector away from fossil-based fuel reliance, towards greener, renewable alternatives.
