This week, top climate scientists from around the globe came together to publish the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C. The report explores pathways to limit warming to below 1.5C, a critical goal to protect the world’s most vulnerable populations and ecosystems. (For more information on what 1.5C of warming means for the planet, we recommend Carbon Brief’s interactive webpage.)

Water Use in Fracking Soars — Exceeding Rise in Fossil Fuels Produced, Study Says | InsideClimate News
Keep it in the ground - not just because of greenhouse gases - also because of wasting precious water resources - which in return makes climate change induced droughts more severe...
The amount of water used per well jumped as much as 770 percent between 2011 and 2016, researchers say. As fracking expands, its water and wastewater footprints are forecast to continue to balloon. Credit: Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images

1.5°C Report — CLARA - THE ROLE OF THE LAND SECTOR IN AMBITIOUS CLIMATE ACTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Missing Pathways to 1.5°C
THE ROLE OF THE LAND SECTOR IN AMBITIOUS CLIMATE ACTION
This report provides an alternate response to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s request to the IPCC to analyse impacts of warming to 1.5°C and related greenhouse gas emission pathways. Prepared by representatives of the Climate Land Ambition and Rights Alliance (CLARA), a consortium of advocates, faith-based organizations and scientists concerned with climate mitigation and adaptation, the report responds specifically to the concern that many IPCC pathways rely heavily on untested mitigation approaches such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). CLARA supports the IPCC’s objective of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change while meeting sustainable development goals and reducing poverty.

The overlooked part of the climate solution.
To fight climate change, we must change the way we use land.
