*Webinar: The Social Challenge of 1.5*°*C*
*Save the date: 17:00 CET, 22 June 2016*
/Join Karen O'Brien, Susanne Moser, Ioan Fazey and others from *Future
Earth´s Transformations Knowledge-Action Network* to discuss mobilizing
research around the social challenge of a 1.5/°/C target./
//
The Paris Agreement, signed by over 190 countries, sets an ambitious
target to “hold the increase in the global average temperature to well
below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the
temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” But what
does this actually mean?
A 1.5°C target implies an unprecedented level of commitment and
engagement to profound and rapid social transformations, which include
not only mitigation efforts, but adaptation to the impacts of climate
change. Social science and humanities research on transformative change
provides valuable insights into the role of targets in action around
climate change, on whether and how the 1.5°C target can be achieved, and
on the implications of failing to do so.
This webinar will explore the social challenge of meeting the 1.5°C
target. It initiates a series of activities by Future Earth´s
Transformations Knowledge-Action Network, which aims to mobilize a
community of researchers and practitioners interested in exploring
social transformations to sustainability. We welcome all to participate:
scientists, communicators, and stakeholders in the fields of
sustainability and global change.
