Currently, we are warming the earth by +3°C per century
By warming the earth by +1°C, we already have covered two thirds of the way before reaching the limit set by scientists. We are already feeling the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters (floods, droughts, forest fires, etc.) and we know that food security and access to water are highly threatened in some regions. In the end, 3.3 to 3.6 billion people, or half of human beings, live in a context highly vulnerable to climate change*.
Although the current situation is worrying, the rate at which we are warming our planet is even more frightening.
