It is now widely recognised that the global atmosphere’s ability to accept greenhouse gas emissions is limited without risking dangerous climate change.

Mitigation efforts in the next few decades will have a large influence on whether greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere can be stabilised at a level low enough to reduce the risk of more serious climate change impacts.
