Progress and Peril in a Warming World

Recent progress on climate policy coupled with more rapid than expected declines in clean energy costs have bent down the curve of future emissions. Growing consensus is that 21st century warming will likely remain below 3?C.

However it is difficult to fully preclude an eventual warming of 4?C or more under a current policy world if there are continued positive emissions after 2100, or if carbon cycle feedbacks and climate sensitivity are on the high end of current estimates.

This talk will review our current climate trajectory and its impacts and assess measures needed to further reduce future warming and hedge against climate tail risks.
