The TLDR on the 2023 UN climate report

The Scary 😳

Emissions continue to rise. The world is likely to surpass its most ambitious climate target, which was to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures by the early 2030s.

The world is now on the brink of catastrophic warming. Heat waves, forest fires, droughts, and other climate disasters that we have seen all too frequently in the past few years will become so extreme that many people will not be able to adapt. It is likely that marginalized communities will suffer the most.

The Opportunity 💡

With urgency comes opportunity. The IPCC report clearly demonstrates that humanity has reached a "critical moment in history". It will be up to all of us to rise to the occasion and work together to solve the climate crisis. At Mammoth Climate, we're optimistic. After all, humans went from riding horses to walking on the moon in less than 100 years.

It starts with you. We often think that systemic change is entirely in the hands of organizations and policymakers. There is some truth to that, but these entities often react to the sentiment of those that they serve - the people. How we spend our money, who we vote for, and what we ask of our employers ultimately shape changes that happen at the top.

Where Do We Go From Here 🙋‍♀️

The groundwork is already done. Tackling climate change is an enormous feat, but there are already millions of people, organizations, activists, and policymakers making bold strides. Friederike Otto, a climate scientist that played an integral role in creating the IPCC report, states "It's not that we are depending on something that still needs to be invented. We actually have all the knowledge we need. All the tools we need. We just need to implement it."

Demand change, now. The choices we make now and in the next few years will reverberate around the world for hundreds, even thousands, of years. António Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations said it well...

How Mammoth Climate Is Helping 💪

The workforce is an untapped resource. If employees aren't empowered to drive sustainable changes in the workplace, how can we expect organizations to meet their emissions targets? At Mammoth Climate, we believe that the workforce represents one of the most powerful tools that we have at our disposal to create a global climate movement.
