UMANA QUESADA, Alvaro. Is Homogeneus the Bioclimatic Performance of the Largest Economies in the World?. Ciencias Ambientales [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.2, pp.230-245. ISSN 2215-3896. http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/rca.54-2.14.
Climate Transparency (TC) is a global association of organizations from most of the G20 countries with the mission of encouraging ambitious climate actions. Here the main findings of the “Brown to Green 2019 Report” are presented and discussed in a summarized and contextualized manner, where a balance is made regarding the position of the G20 countries in terms of the 1.5 ° C indicators and highlights key opportunities for improve climate action in different sectors. Unfortunately, during 2018, world emissions increased again, indicating a need for great efforts to reduce them and stop global warming at 1.5 ° C. Considering the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, in 2020 for the first time we will see a decrease in world emissions. The question is: Will we continue with the same pre-pandemic growth style, or have we learned lessons and changed our behavior that lead to a lower emission society?
