Sentences with phrase «deeper emissions cuts so»

Not exact matches

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the united effort to address the effects of climate change, in 2010 the 16th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCC met in Cancun, Mexico and recognized that deep cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions were required, with a goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions so as to hold the increase in global average temperature below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels;

The 2 °C target was reaffirmed in the 2009 «Copenhagen Accord» emerging from the 15th Conference of the Parties of the Framework Convention [11], with specific language «We agree that deep cuts in global emissions are required according to science, as documented in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report with a view to reduce global emissions so as to hold the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius...».

My own feel for this is that if we do not achieve global agreement and real action on deep cuts in emissions over the next 10 years or so we will get locked into an inappropriate fossil fuel infrastructure until at least mid-century, that will prevent us from capturing CO2 effectively.

This fact — that so serious a crisis could have so marginal an impact on global emissions — is an extremely important warning, for it clearly implies that the deep emissions cuts we need will not come by way of any modest curtailment of economic activity.

And so the Climate Change Authority's recommendations are simultaneously more ambitious than the government will be prepared to accept, and not so ambitious by way of assuming that international emissions trading may mean no deep emissions cuts domestically.

Our recent study with ClimateWorks Australia on Deep Decarbonisation Pathways, which built on modelling by CSIRO and Victoria University, showed that Australia can cut emissions deeply and do so while maintaining strong economic growth.

The 2 °C target was reaffirmed in the 2009 «Copenhagen Accord» emerging from the 15th Conference of the Parties of the Framework Convention [11], with specific language «We agree that deep cuts in global emissions are required according to science, as documented in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report with a view to reduce global emissions so as to hold the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius...».

«With some level of warming and sea level rise already in the pipeline no matter what we do, we won't see a reduction in impacts or even a sudden levelling - off — impacts are projected to increase at the same rate in all scenarios for the next couple of decades or so, and after that they merely increase more slowly in the deep emissions cuts scenarios,» Betts told Mongabay.

Parties [shall][agree to] to take urgent action and enhance [cooperation][support] so as to (a) Hold the increase in the global average temperature [below 2 °C][below 1.5 °C][well below 2 °C][below 2 °C or 1.5 °C][below 1.5 °C or 2 °C][as far below 2 °C as possible] above pre-industrial levels by ensuring deep cuts in global greenhouse gas [net] emissions.

Deep decarbonization would require the banning of the consumption of all meat (agriculture currently is directly or indirectly (due to cutting down forests to grow food to feed to animals which are then eaten and the CH4 emitted by the animals, and so on for 18 % of the CO2 emissions.)

Those reductions would be beyond a baseline of total emissions from 1990, so in fact would represent much deeper cuts compared to today's emissions levels.

And in the very next paragraph, it declared that «we agree that deep cuts in global emissions are required... so as to hold the increase in global temperature below two degrees Celsius.»
