Based on the Paris Agreement goal to limit global warming to 1.5C by the end of the century, the proposed legislation also aims to address the biodiversity crisis, by placing a stronger legal requirement for the government to protect and restore forests, soils, and ecosystems so as to deliver a natural means of absorbing CO2.

Given the Paris Accord’s aspirations, the climate challenge facing humanity can be expressed in simple terms: halve annual carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by 2030, halve them again by 2040, and again by 2050.

But what is less clear is how this global warming will translate into increased weather extremes and how these extremes will then impact hugely complex human infrastructure, agricultural systems, and the economies they underpin. Such outcomes would trigger huge geo-political risks that could impact the entire global economy.
