Facts on Global Warming – 1.5°C Limit & Emissions Drop

Slide Content

The slide details crucial information about the global effort to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and how current emissions targets are inadequate. The 1.5°C target is identified as less catastrophic than higher temperature increases, which could cause progressively severe and costlier effects. It mentions that there is still a possibility to cap temperature increases to 1.5°C but points out that current commitments will result in double the emissions by 2030 than what is necessary. Lastly, it asserts that with collective actions and policies, a 7.6% annual reduction in emissions from 2020 to 2030 can help achieve the 1.5°C goal.

Graphical Look

• The slide is divided into two main sections, left and right, by a thin vertical line.
• The left section contains three text bullet points, each with a brief explanation related to the 1.5°C limit on global warming.
• The right section features three circular icons, each associated with a specific message or piece of data about emissions.
• Each of the three circular icons has a unique color (orange, gray, and teal) and a white symbol inside it (a CO2 icon, a downward arrow, and an exclamation mark, respectively).
• The bottom of the slide cites a source, the UN Environment Programme Emissions Gap Report 2019. The slide has a clean and modern appearance, with a balance of text and visual elements. The usage of bright colors and distinct icons draws the viewer's attention to key points.

Use Cases

• Presenting scientific data and climate goals in an environmental conference or seminar.
• Providing a visual summary of emissions targets in corporate sustainability reports.
• Educating students or the public about the significance of emissions reduction in academic or educational settings.
• Discussing policy changes or corporate strategies needed to meet global warming limitations in executive meetings or boardroom discussions.
