What will our planet look like if we fail to address climate change?
In short: Shannon Odell explores the potential state of Earth in the coming decades if current climate trends persist. By examining the consequences of failing to meet emissions targets, this video provides a sobering look at the trajectory of our global environment.
The video considers the environmental landscape over the next 30 to 80 years, assuming a scenario where governments continue to fall short on their emissions pledges. It highlights that while the devastating impacts of human-caused climate change are already being felt, the current path remains insufficient to thwart further warming.
Developed with insights from Mark Maslin and in collaboration with Speed & Scale, the presentation serves as a projection of Earth's possible future based on our ongoing inaction.
