US climate envoy John Kerry spoke as he visited Edinburgh for the first in a new series of lectures on the climate crisis.
US special presidential envoy for climate John Kerry insisted the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C ‘is not actually completely out of reach’
But in March this year, experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said there needs to be drastic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions if this is to be achieved. However, Mr Kerry, speaking ahead of a new series of lectures in Edinburgh focusing on the climate crisis, said he was “not willing to give in” on the goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5C yet.
Mr Kerry went on to insist limiting warming to 1.5C was “doable”, although he conceded it would be “very difficult” – with this partly the result of a lack of action by countries around the world.
