Getting smart on climate solutions and impacts
Climate change threatens our economy, our health and our future.
In order to avoid the worst impacts, the best science says we must move to a 100% clean economy by 2050 – that is, adding no more carbon emissions to the atmosphere than we can remove.
But the details of how we can quickly and efficiently reduce pollution — and how climate change will impact us — are important. So EDF experts have put together one-page explanations on key topics:
