TED: The state of the climate crisis in 2021 | Climate Action Tracker

The video discusses the Paris Agreement's goals to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. It highlights the need for countries to update their climate action plans and the importance of reducing emissions by 2030. While many countries have pledged net zero targets, current actions are insufficient to meet the 1.5-degree goal. The video emphasizes the gap between short-term actions and long-term commitments, urging countries to enhance their climate policies. Positive trends in renewable energy and electric vehicles are noted, but more bold leadership is needed to achieve climate targets.
