UN scientists have unveiled a plan that they believe can limit the root causes of dangerous climate change.
A key UN body said in a report that there must be “rapid, deep and immediate” cuts in carbon dioxide emissions.

Even then, the world would also need technology to suck CO2 from the skies by mid-century.
Welcome to Transition Studies. To prosper for very much longer on the changing Earth humankind will need to move beyond its current fossil-fueled civilization toward one that is sustained on recycled materials and renewable energy. This is not a trivial shift. It will require a major transition in all aspects of our lives.
This weblog explores the transition to a sustainable future on our finite planet. It provides links to current news, key documents from government sources and non-governmental organizations, as well as video documentaries about climate change, environmental ethics and environmental justice concerns.
