Are you a renewable energy:
And how much do you know about PPAs?
Droughts and hot extremes, individually and in combination, are intensifying, driven by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, a globally comparable and cross-national assessment of the future risks posed by these events remains a critical gap.
Under current policies, leading to ∼2.7°C warming by 2100, 28.5% ± 9.3% of the global population (roughly 2.6 ± 0.9 billion people) may face heightened compound hot-dry extremes.
Mainstreaming effective and equitable climate action now will reduce losses and damages
Multiple, feasible and effective options are available to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to climate change
Climate action provides co-benefits for nature and people.
Pace and scale of climate action are insufficient to tackle climate change
Adverse impacts from human-caused change will intensify
Extremes become more widespread and pronounced with every increment of warming
The path forward is clear:
Tried and tested options available now
These need to be designed for diverse contexts and applied widely
Increase financing for climate action (3-6 times the current climate investment)
The warning
The challenge
The hope
6th IPCC report (March 2022): Climate change has pervasive impacts to ecosystems, people, settlements and infrastructure.
Human-induced climate change, including more frequent and intense extreme events, has caused widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people, beyond natural climate variability.
Across sectors and regions the most vulnerable people and systems are observed to be disproportionately affected.
The rise in weather and climate extremes has led to some irreversible impacts as natural and human systems are pushed beyond their ability to adapt.

Why this website?
If you are interested in better understanding climate change and finding out how renewable energy can help fighting it - in an objective, fact-based and at the same time fun way…then this website is for you.
Having worked for over a decade within the renewable energy industry, I learned that it is imperative to pass on & exchange knowledge, experience and ideas.
Fighting climate change starts with knowledge!
