"My worst fear would be that we simply become complacent,"
"Continue down the road to a future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature, degraded land and polluted air, or change direction to secure a healthy planet, healthy people and healthy economies."
"this is no choice at all."
Continuing current trajectories will cost trillions of dollars annually and could reduce global GDP by about 4% by 2050 and 20% by the end of the century. Emissions reached record highs in 2025, which is on course to be the joint-second warmest year alongside 2023. The poorest communities are most vulnerable to extreme weather and will suffer disproportionately. Altering the global path could generate trillions in additional GDP, prevent millions of deaths, and lift hundreds of millions out of poverty and hunger. Achieving these outcomes requires coordinated action across government, business and society to scale sustainable agriculture, restore ecosystems, deploy clean energy, and design longer-lasting, less wasteful products.
