n this latest paper, Philip Sutton highlights what he sees as an impending shift in the purpose of climate campaigning and calls for the most effective action in the new ‘post-Paris’ era.

In the foreword to “Matching climate goals with climate reality”, sustainability advisor and author of the 2011 book “The Great Disruption”  and co-author of “The One Degree War Plan”, Paul Gilding said, ”Amidst the noise of the day-to-day debates, we have lost sight of the simple logic of the advice coming from the world’s top climate scientists.

“Despite the uncertainties in the details, the science carries one underlying message, from which we can draw only one rational conclusion. It is time to declare a global emergency and mobilise all our available resources, political will and human ingenuity towards one task – reducing the risk of catastrophic climate change to a safe level.”
