In response to the 2015 Paris Agreement adoption to target global warming well below 2oC and make efforts to keep warming within 1.5oC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provided a 2019 Special Report on the impacts of Global Warming of 1.5oC above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (IPCC Special Report, 2019).  The Special Report concluded that every tenth of a degree toward reaching a half degree more of warming would mean substantially more poverty, extreme heat, sea level rise, habitat loss, and drought.  At 1.5oC, the number of people across the globe at risk of inadequate water supplies could be 50% lower than at 2oC, thereby making global water issues important to each person.  Limiting global warming to 1.5oC would reduce the risk to several hundred million people by 2050 including flooding, food scarcity, superstorms, deadly heat, and widespread disease.  However, limiting global warming to 1.5oC requires decreasing carbon pollution by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, plus the world would need to reach net zero emissions by 2050 (The Natural Resources Defense Council, 2019).
