    Abstract

    We're a quarter of the way through the Critical Decade for tackling climate change. Many consequences of climate change are already evident, and the risks of further climate change are better understood. It is clear that global society must decarbonise by 2050. This means that most of the fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground. What progress has been made, and what still needs to happen? How far are we on the path to adopting solutions to the current and future consequences of climate change? We have the information we need to act now.
