...but add up to a satisfying learning experience.

To start, the big picture: The world as a whole has actually made significant progress since the Paris agreement was signed. However, a lot more progress is needed, and fast.

A visual overview of disastrous effects of climate change that are already happening around the globe.

A brief summary of the key findings of the latest IPCC report on climate change.

A comprehensive overview of established facts on climate change.

A wake-up call.

Net-zero has become so common as a concept in climate policy that we tend to overlook that it's far from a perfect goal.

Pledges are one thing, living up to them another. This graphic shows how almost all countries are currently failing to stick to the Paris agreement, and by how much. 

To finish this series: An extremely detailed view at nine tipping points, where a changing climate could push parts of the Earth system into abrupt or irreversible change. It's a lot to read, but worth your time. Add it to your reading list and read it multiple sessions.
