DEEPTI’S RESEARCH DISPATCH
How Much Farther Do We Have to Go to Solve Climate Change?
Research Tidbit #6, where I learn what’s in the 2021 Emissions Gap Report.
As part of the reading project I set myself for the past few months, I’m reading the 2021 Emissions Gap Report (EGR) that came out from the UN before COP26.
I wanted to know the specifics of what needs to be done in mitigating climate change, and how far we have to go to get there.
I’m also looking for specific opportunities for regular people like us to get involved, whether that’s through advocacy, careers, volunteering, or research.
I started off by reading the introductory sections: the Foreward, Glossary, Executive Summary, and Introduction.
I eased into it because I didn’t really know what was going to be of interest to me. I did take a skim earlier that helped formulate my questions, but that was about all I knew.
I’ve split my posts about this report by chapter, so expect subsequent posts covering each of the remaining chapters in greater depth.
Questions I had going in
I wanted to know the main areas of potential improvement.
