Abstract
Het tijdvenster om de klimaatopwarming te beperken tot twee graden Celsius sluit zich binnenkort. Echter, met aanvullend beleid op het klimaatakkoord van Parijs door nationale overheden, via niet-gouvernementele acties en met krachtige internationale coalities is de Parijs-limiet nog haalbaar. Die optimistische maar kritische visie geeft prof.dr. Niklas Höhne in zijn inaugurele rede aan Wageningen University op 1 september.
The window of opportunity for limiting climate warming up to 2°C is closing rapidly. However, a reinforcing upward spiral of national government policy, non-state actions and transformative coalitions will be essential even after the Paris agreement, if dangerous climate change is to be avoided. This optimistic, but critical vision is posed by Prof. Niklas Höhne in his inaugural address at Wageningen university on September 1th.
