Which measures make sense to change human behavior in favor of climate protection?
Climate Action
Basic measures that are required in any case to achieve the 1.5°C target, but whose implementation alone does not guarantee that the target will be achieved. Only the concrete design and the extent and type of additional measures determine the possibility of achieving the goal. The clearer and earlier the measures are taken, the more reliable the achievement of goals is realistic.
