Reference: “Promise of 1.5 ?C. Act now to stop global warming.”)
At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference held in the United Kingdom in November 2021, a resolution was passed for the suppression of 1.5℃ of the increase in the average global temperature compared with before the industrial revolution, in order to avoid most of the effects of climate change, to be a practical goal of member states of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The campaign “Promise of 1.5 ?C. Act now to stop global warming.” is conducted with the goal to promote understanding of the “promise of 1.5℃” and for individuals and organizations to change their behavior. Members of the Japanese media who are passionate about SDGs and the United Nations Information Centre come together to talk about the meaning of the “goal of 1.5℃” and what should be done to achieve it.
