In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) informed us that the earth must stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius, and the global average temperature must rise. Every slight increase could create huge impacts. Many believe that the 1.5 C goal is challenging and can only be achieved using very expensive or risky technology.
Until the book Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement Goals was published. This book created a model where we can use widely available and less costly solutions. Seventeen scientist at the University of Technology Sydney, two esteemed institutions at the Germany Aerospace Center and the University of Melbourne's Climate and & Energy College came together for two years to create a new climate framework.
The steps needed to be taken include phasing out oil-based fuels by 2040, all European coal power plants stopping by 2023, and using The European Network of Transmission System Operators to help the development of change. This model includes regions Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Estonia, and Latvia. Lithuania. Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and small islands (Oneearth.org.).
