So you've declarred a climate emergency: what next?

摘要

Not unsurprisingly headlines about the climate emergency have for now been replaced by COVID-19. Yet in comparison, coronavirus - whose sting will likely be drawn in 12 to 18 months - is temporary. If mankind does nothing, some fresh disaster will mean the climate emergency grabbing back the headlines for the worst possible reasons. We hope the lesson the world learns from COVID-19 is that when a serious threat has been sighted, early action to head it off saves both lives and money. As with coronavirus, so with climate change: early action matters massively.
