The Evolution of Global Warming

Greenhouse gases (GHG) traps heat in the atmosphere which leads to global warming. Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in GHG levels over the past 150 years. The UN's IPCC (1988) and the Paris Agreement (2015) aim to limit warming to below 2°C, ideally 1.5°C. This requires significant changes in the energy, industrial and agricultural sectors as well as global collaboration to ensure a sustainable future.
