A third of the world's fertilizers normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Without a solution, we could be facing a global food crisis within weeks – one that will surely hit the most vulnerable people the hardest. It's time to act.

We're on a path to 2.5°C. The question is do we accept "overshooting" 1.5°C, or do we fix it now?

We're not on the 1.5°C path & 'overshooting' isn't inevitable. We must x3 renewables, x2 energy efficiency, deliver on finance, & end fossil fuel subsidies.
