The year 2050 became one of those momentous dates in the global psyche after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change identified it as the point where carbon emissions would need to be “reaching net-zero” The most hopeful perspective is that the world is nearing the cusp of peak global emissions.

Sadly, we are not ahead of schedule when it comes to cutting fossil carbon driving up the heat.

We may soon mark the peak of global emissions, but it's not enough to level off.

The trajectory from here to net-zero isn't a gentle slope, but a cliff face that would require immediate, unprecedented action.

The scale of the transformation now required is staggering, but so is the cost of delay.
