<p><em>This event was held to mark the 15<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the foundation of the two Grantham institutes at Imperial College London and at the London School of Economics and Political Science</em>.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As the impacts of climate change become more widespread and severe around the world\, governments\, companies and communities are increasingly recognising the need to stop as soon as possible the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving it. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However\, ambition has so far failed to translate into action at scale and decarbonisation efforts must be significantly accelerated if the world is to have a reasonable chance of meeting the Paris Agreement’s goal of holding global warming to well below 2°C and preferably 1.5°C.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This event explored the ever more urgent case for a rapid and just transition to net zero emissions globally\, while promoting sustainable development\, prosperity and well-being within and across lower and higher income countries. During the event leading experts outlined their latest findings from across the natural and social sciences\, against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions\, an ongoing energy crisis in Europe\, and concerns about progress ahead the next United Nations climate change summit due to take place in the United Arab Emirates later this year. </p>
