Global Fossil CO2 Emissions
        Global fossil CO2 emissions: 36.2 ± 2 GtCO2 in 2017, 63% over 1990
 Projection for 2018: 37.1 ± 2 GtCO2, 2.7% higher than 2017 (range 1.8% to 3.7%)

Climate Change & SDGs
  Key messages derived from IPCC SR1.5
● Climate Change is undermining
  sustainable development
● NDCs are insufficient to limit
  temperatures to 1.5°C
● There are multiple synergies
  between limiting warming to
  1.5oC and achievement of the
  SDGs

Some Key Messages
Attaining the SDGs requires vigorous action now,
 and a people and planet focus beyond 2030!
As everything is integrated in the connected world,
 transformation requires a holistic perspective!
Transformational change is needed but to succeed
 we must take along winners and losers!
The world is at crossroads as we are currently
 experiencing signs of a counter-transformation!

A central to sustainability transformation is effective
 and inclusive governance!
Think globally, act locally! Think long-term, act now!
