Adaptation
According to a report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projected for 2030 must be reduced by 28% in order to meet the target of limiting global warming to 2°C set out in the Paris Agreement. While mitigating CO2 emissions is a priority, it goes hand in hand with concrete actions to make our living environments safer and more resilient. Heatwaves, storms, rising sea levels... Faced with climate change and its cascading effects, there is one watchword for protection: adaptation.
