Decarbonization Strategy
There is overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity - particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy production - is the primary cause of the rapid and intensifying global warming we’re experiencing today. All sectors of society - including schools - must work towards reducing their emissions by at least 43% by 2030, to limit global warming to 1.5°C. (Learn why here.)
Ripple Effect can help your school to establish your greenhouse gas emissions baselines and develop a decarbonization strategy, to reduce your school’s emissions to climate change and transform into a model for your students and community.
“The next 15-20 years will have a decisive impact — more than in any period before — on the conditions of life on earth. The rising awareness about the urgency of dealing with climate change is symptomatic of an increasing concern for the future of humanity, and the planet as our life support system.”
