#ClimateLiteracy ~ The Shared Socioeconomic Pathway that we seem to be on is SSP2-4.5

What does this mean?

Near-term - ie in the next 16 years - temperatures will reach between 1.2° to 1.8°C permanently. (IPCC, very likely)

In 2024, we are already at a permanent 1.3°C and 1.5°C is imminent (projected 2030-2033)

2ºC is almost certain.

We need to figure out rather quickly what the world will look like at this threshold and prepare as best we can.
