THE TIME IS NOW Climate change has been happening for decades, but scientists are increasingly concerned that we are heading for a point of no return. 1

THE TIME IS NOW Climate change has been happening for decades, but scientists are increasingly concerned that we are heading for a point of no return. In the last 100 years we have seen 1 C of warming; this is already causing serious impacts. Climate scientists predict that past 2 C of warming the consequences of climate change will drastically affect our current way of life. 1

THE TIME IS NOW Climate change has been happening for decades, but scientists are increasingly concerned that we are heading for a point of no return. In the last 100 years we have seen 1 C of warming; this is already causing serious impacts. Climate scientists predict that past 2 C of warming the consequences of climate change will drastically affect our current way of life. If we don t act now to cut carbon emissions, climate experts are predicting that global temperatures will rise around 4 C this century. 1

THE STORY SO FAR For over 50 years, WWF has been working to protect our natural world. Some of their campaigns highlight the threats to forests, oceans and freshwater habitats; others the plight of critically endangered species such as tigers, rhinos, gorillas, polar bears and the iconic giant panda. WWF also campaigns on climate change. Most of the threats to wildlife and habitats come from human pressures and an increasing demand for food or water. 5

UNEQUAL DEMANDS, UNEQUAL CONSEQUENCES With so many people living in poverty, protecting wildlife may seem like a luxury, but for many of the world s poorest people, nature is a lifeline. WWF International Director General, Marco Lambertini 6

UNEQUAL DEMANDS, UNEQUAL CONSEQUENCES With so many people living in poverty, protecting wildlife may seem like a luxury, but for many of the world s poorest people, nature is a lifeline. WWF International Director General, Marco Lambertini The world s richest countries consume most of the world s resources and produce the largest proportion of greenhouse gases. Yet the world s poorest people and the poorest countries are being hit hardest by the effects of climate change. 6
