Hi all,

As you know, yesterday the IPCC released the much anticipated Special Report on 1.5°C. We invite you to review this backgrounder on the report, reactions from experts, and these graphics comparing impacts at 1.5, 2, 3 and 4°C.

Please find suggested social language and downloadable versions of the graphics below. Thank you in advance for your help amplifying!

Report

New @IPCC_CH report shows we can avoid much of the loss and risk of #climatechange by limiting warming to 1.5°C. It’s a huge challenge, but it’s possible. Read more: http://bit.ly/IPCC2K18 #SR15 <insert image>

New @IPCC_CH report shows the world has procrastinated too much on #climatechange — but we can still limit warming to 1.5°C with concerted action from governments. Read more: http://bit.ly/IPCC2K18 #SR15 <insert image>

We’ve already started the work needed to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C, but new @IPCC_CH report shows governments need to do more, faster. http://bit.ly/IPCC2K18 #SR15 <insert image>

Expert reactions

.@JohnKerry on challenge of limiting #globalwarming to 1.5°C: “The upside is, do it right and you create millions upon millions of jobs in the low-carbon energy transformation. Don’t do it, and people die.” Read more on #SR15: http://bit.ly/IPCCexperts <insert image>

Ricardo Lagos, former president of Chile: “[Urgent, radical action to keep warming to 1.5°C] cannot be left to #climate scientists & activists alone – it is a battle that must be joined by all those with an interest in our future survival.” More on #SR15: http://bit.ly/IPCCexperts <insert image>

.@IPCC_CH scientist Valerie Masson-Delmotte: “...actions that would be needed to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C are already underway around the world, but they would need to accelerate.” Read more from experts: http://bit.ly/IPCCexperts  #SR15 <insert image>

.@JerryBrownGov on challenge of limiting #globalwarming to 1.5°C: “We can do it but only if the deniers, the skeptics and the comfortable wake up to what the scientists are telling us.” Read more: http://bit.ly/IPCCexperts #SR15 <insert image>
