What moves us
The year 2024 will go down in history as the first to see 12 consecutive months exceeding the 1.5°C threshold above pre-industrial average temperatures. The intense and frequent extreme weather events witnessed globally throughout 2024 are just a preview of what lies ahead. Without immediate action, the world could reach over 3°C of warming by the end of the century, according to the report “Adaptation Gap 2024: Heading Toward Hell and Rising Waters,” published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
To curb global warming and mitigate climate change, a wide range of actions are required, including drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to transitioning the energy matrix, it is crucial to halt deforestation of primary forests, restore degraded areas, and adopt sustainable land-use practices. In Brazil, according to 2024 data from the Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals Estimates System (SEEG), three-quarters of emissions are generated by agriculture and land-use change, including deforestation.
