Five major shifts since the Paris Agreement that give hope in a just Paris

This paper by the NewClimate Institute provides an overview of positive shifts in international climate policy across five thematic areas: awareness and civil action, policy and governance, investors and business, and the energy and industry sectors. It argues that these shifts, driven by new actors and strategies, demonstrate that the goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C remains achievable.

• The document identifies positive shifts across five specific thematic areas: awareness and civil action, policy and governance, investors and business, and the energy and industry sectors. While some of these shifts are small and require acceleration, others have passed positive tipping points.
• Progress in climate action is being driven by new actors, specifically global youth, and the implementation of new strategies such as climate litigation to pressure companies and governments.
• The observed shifts in international climate policy provide a basis for hope that the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C is still attainable.
