Why it happens
Greenhouse gases trap heat
in our atmosphere.
Burning coal, oil and gas increases heat-trapping gases. The growing sun in our story is a visual metaphor for heat, not the cause of modern global warming.
AN EXPLORATION OF GLOBAL WARMING
A familiar world.
A changing climate.
UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL WARMING
A changing climate. A future we can still shape.

Rising seas. More extreme heat.
Ecosystems under pressure.
Warming affects oceans, weather and living systems. Risks increase with every additional increment of warming.
Cut emissions. Protect nature.
Build resilience.
Clean energy, efficient buildings, low-emission transport and healthy ecosystems all contribute. Collective decisions shape the scale of change.
