To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, strategies and tactics need to target unprecedented and transformational changes as well as be grounded in complex intersectional and social challenges of our time. Over the past decade, climate mitigation philanthropy has focused on seizing the best near-term opportunities to reduce clean technology costs, lock-in greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and protect key carbon sinks, mindful of what is required through 2030 to meet a well-below 2\u00b0C goal. 2050 Today\u2014an initiative of the ClimateWorks Foundation\u2014sets out to examine new and emerging priorities that need attention today to fully decarbonize the global economy by mid-century and achieve net-zero, or even net-negative, emissions in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n The Covid-19 pandemic and the growing global momentum towards racial justice in 2020 is profoundly redefining the course and the breadth of 2050 dialogs, and is prompting us to reexamine current decarbonization pathways and strategies, and the deep social transformation necessary to address the climate crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For more reflections on how this year\u2019s challenges are changing our thinking as part of 2050 Today, and questions we need to lead with as we continue to develop and execute on long-term strategies to achieve a just, equitable, and sustainable future, visit the blog authored by Lina Fedirko<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Blank space” _builder_version=”4.4.8″][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_code admin_label=”2050 Today Video” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ link_option_url=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/389544086″ link_option_url_new_window=”on”]
