So we had a look at that and worked on it and many things we have done have followed from that, both on the impact side, mitigation, emission reduction, modelling, climate finance, a lot of the central organising principle has become about how to take the steps required to enable countries to deal sustainably with the challenges of meeting the 1.5 C limit.

If nations fail to base their climate change policies on what equity, ethics, and justice require of them on mitigation of their greenhouse gas emissions and funding for adaptation, losses, and damages, then the global response to climate change will not likely be ambitious enough to avoid catastrophic climate impacts while deepening existing injustices in the world.

There is a real risk that negotiators and civil society groups will continue to consider the early entry into force of the Paris Agreement as the pinnacle of necessary action on climate change, when in reality the Parties to the Agreement must increase their ambition to cut carbon emissions and support the massive mitigation and adaptation financing of developing countries who bear a disproportionate burden of climate change impacts.

«One of the key messages is that if we're going to avoid the impacts of climate change on biodiversity in these priority places, the most effective way of doing that is climate change mitigation — reducing greenhouse gas emissions,» said Warren, a climate change researcher at the University of East Anglia and a coordinating lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report.

But along with emissions - reduction mitigation to reduce the rate and magnitude of climate change as expeditiously as possible, a comprehensive risk - management climate policy will necessarily require a strategic and multifaceted effort at preparedness to limit vulnerabilities and increase resilience to impacts that can't be avoided.

You may wonder why the government finds the need to pursue such action since 1) U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have already topped out and have generally been on the decline for the past 7 - 8 years or so (from technological advances in natural gas extraction and a slow economy more so than from already - enacted government regulations and subsidies); 2) greenhouse gases from the rest of the world (primarily driven by China) have been sky - rocketing over the same period, which lessens any impacts that our emissions reduction have); and 3) even in their totality, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have a negligible influence on local / regional / global climate change (even a immediate and permanent cessation of all our carbon dioxide emissions would likely result in a mitigation of global temperature rise of less than one - quarter of a degree C by the end of the century).

I suppose the battle - lines here are drawn between on the one - hand those who believe in either significant natural feedbacks impacting the carbon cycle as - we - speak or who believe today's mitigation measures are useless, and on the other - hand those who would welcome some signs of a weakening of the accelerating CO2 - rise as this would encourage more mitigation actions (and less hand - wringing) and who consider CO2 emissions reporting is more than «fluff».

Because of the long atmospheric lifetime of some of the main greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, there is a mismatch between the payoff from climate change mitigation, which involves reducing emissions of planet warming greenhouse gases to lessen to severity of climate change, and climate change adaptation, which refers to measures to better withstand the impacts of climate change.
