Around 54% of greenhouse gas emissions come from just 3 of the biggest emitters, USA, China and Europe while the 100 least-emitting countries contribute less than 3%. (Climate Watch, 2020)
Ocean absorbs 93% of the excess heat and 30% of the CO2 emissions produced from human activity. (IPCC, 2019)
Only 57 countries (representing 60 percent of global emissions) are on track to meet their commitments by 2030.
On an average, global glaciers have thinned by 10 metres since 1980.
Highest concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere ever recorded in human history was in July 2021, 416 ppm.

2019 was the second hottest year on record in the last 140 years, just behind 2016, averaging 0.95 of a degree C above the normal (NOAA)
To prevent warming beyond 1.5°C, we need to reduce emissions by 7.6% every year from this year to 2030. (EGR, 2019)
