Global CO₂ Emissions showing that CO₂ emissions continue to increase. To Limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with no or limited overshoot, we need to decrease emissions by 48% relative to 2019. The graph shows that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as it did during the pandemic lockdown between now and 2030, we would not decrease CO₂ emissions by 48% relative to 2019.

Even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as during the pandemic lockdown, we wouldn't achieve our climate targets.
While individuals made huge sacrifices, the system remained. This shows that individual action will not solve climate change. We need the system to change.
