Cómo reportar sobre el objetivo de 1.5 grados Celsius

The document explains the 1.5 degrees Celsius temperature goal, the risks associated with exceeding it, the necessary actions to achieve it, and how journalists should communicate these issues to the public.

• The 1.5 degrees Celsius target was established under the 2015 Paris Agreement, with world leaders committing to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius while aspiring to limit them to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
• Current global temperatures have risen by 1.2 degrees Celsius, already causing record heat, droughts, fires, storms, and floods. If current trends continue, the Earth is projected to warm by approximately 3.2 degrees Celsius by 2100.
• Achieving the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit requires reducing global carbon emissions by half by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This necessitates a rapid transition from oil, gas, and coal to solar, wind, and other carbon-free energy, as well as ending deforestation driven by industrial agriculture for beef, soy, and palm oil.
• There is a 66% probability that the Earth's temperature will exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit for at least one year between now and 2027, according to World Meteorological Organization scientists.
• Journalists are encouraged to report on the current impacts of the 1.2 degrees Celsius increase, particularly on marginalized communities, and to frame the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal as a way to reduce potential damages and drive global action rather than presenting it as a point of inevitable extinction.
