What life in 2030?
To preserve the climate, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
We no longer have a choice. For the planet and to avoid global warming of 1.5°C, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, and by 20 by 2050.
But what does it actually represent in everyday life to halve your CO2 emissions? And what actions to put in place?
Yes, we can still use our smartphone, travel by car, fly or eat meat. But not like today. It will be necessary to review its habits in a much more reasoned way, so that they are compatible with the limits of the planet and to show solidarity with all its inhabitants.
In 2030, we will use apps to share services or better borrow various means of transport, we will be flexitarians and we will show creativity to discover the world without systematically taking a plane. In short, we will have to reduce our consumption, track down waste and pay the right price for limited and polluting resources (fossil energy in particular).
