Step forward: the EU’s statement of intent to cut emissions by 66-72.5% by 2035 is a welcome sign. But it’s time to lock in that 72.5%, and pair it with a 2040 target of at least 90% before COP30.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.
