- Beating the climate crisis is going to require achieving the 2050 target of Zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) at the very minimum.
- Advocating a Zero Greenhouse Gas 2050 target is directly in line with the UN Paris 1.5 goal.
- SUNx Malta will work with companies and communities to help them develop sustainability and climate plans to achieve Absolute Zero GHG.
Based on the latest science, a 2050 target of Zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG)is the minimum ultimately neededto beat the existential Climate Crisis. By advocating a Zero GHG 2050target it takes the direct line to the UN Paris 1.5 goal. Starting now.
However, recognizing net carbon neutral is today’s norm, within the SUN x Malta Climate Friendly Travel to Zeroframework, it will work with companies and communities via its CFT Registry and through Strong Climate Champions , to help them develop Sustainability and Climate Plans that transform over time from Net Zero Carbon to Absolute Zero GHG.
Professor Geoffrey Lipman said: “Science tells us we have almost reached 1.2 o towards the Paris Agreement’s targets today and are heading for 3-5 o increase by 2050. That would be an existential catastrophe, with weather extremes leading to intensifying fires, floods, droughts, and climate refugees.
“ At SUN x Malta , we are taking the high ground in support of science. We strongly believe that Climate Friendly Travel (CFT) – Low Carbon: SDG linked: Paris 1.5 o , is the best way for Travel & Tourism to get on board the UN 2030/2050 Roadmap for a green and clean future for our kids. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for all post pandemic Tourism to be sustainable and Climate Friendly. CFT will help deliver that.
