The world will warm by 3.2°C this century even if all the policies to cut carbon that governments have so far adopted were fully implemented.

This report is a desperate plea for the massive scaling of renewable energy technologies and infrastructure, improvements in energy efficiency, and reductions in energy consumption. Although we know this and have the solutions to keep the worst from happening, we fail to take the needed urgent action.
