Cosmos Briefing: The critical decade

Video Description

Action we take during the current decade will determine whether we are able to meet the Paris Agreement targets and avoid catastrophic climate change. In this Cosmos Briefing, we learn what we must do in the critical decade to respond to the threats imposed by global warming. Cosmos teamed up with The Australian Atmospheric and Oceanographic Society and a live audience to discuss the challenges, and threats we all face.
