What is climate action

Climate action is about understanding and taking responsibility for our emissions to try and slowdown the trend of Global Warming.

At the Earth Summit in 1992, the world agreed to prevent "dangerous" climate change. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which finally came into force in 2005 enforced modest emission reductions for participating industrialised countries.

Deeper cuts are needed and developing nations, which have large and growing populations, will have to join in.

The bottom line is that we will need to cut CO2 emissions by 70% to 80% to stabilise atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

The quicker we do that, the less unbearably hot our future world will be.

Private companies are beginning to realise and act upon Climate Change by adopting more efficient technologies that emit less greenhouse gases.

Whilst reducing emissions is essential, it is neither adequate nor does it bring full accountability.

Addressing global warming needs a higher degree of accountability. In the absence of stringent international treaties to enforce this, we must all take full responsibility for our carbon footprint. It is only upon taking full responsibility of all our emissions that we will reduce by all possible measures our unnecessary energy usage. This is why we believe offsetting surplus emissions is necessary to drive this process more vigorously.
