In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announced that limiting global warming to 1.5°C would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented change in all aspects of society. The length of the 1.5 Minute Climate Lectures represents 1.5°C — the maximum amount the average temperature can rise in order to avoid the worst consequences of global warming.
For this year’s 1.5* Minute Climate Lectures during Climate Week at Penn 2024, six University of Pennsylvania experts will share their perspectives on Climate Solutions.
*1.5 degrees Celsius = The maximum amount the average temperature can rise in order to avoid the worst consequences of global warming. We’re already past 1 degree Celsius.
