Conference_The Global Heating Emergency Preventing 2°C by 2040: What's the Plan_HPAC_Oct.15-16, 2025

Global Online Conference • October 15 – 16, 2025 (https://www.preventing2degrees.org) Description: In Paris in 2015, 195 countries committed to stopping global warming. But greenhouse gas emissions have continued to relentlessly increase. The latest science shows that instead of slowing down, temperatures are now rising at twice the rate of previous decades. At this pace, the Paris Accord’s critical red line of 2°C is likely to be breached by 2037—just 12 years from now. The Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC) brought together scientists, policymakers, and concerned citizens for a global online conference to build awareness about why temperatures are accelerating, and what this means for humanity. We sought to create momentum for a more comprehensive global action plan to address the new realities that we are facing before it’s too late. We are nearly out of time to avert 2°C. But, there are tools in the toolbox that can buy more time to successfully stop global heating in the short term, while we strive to bring down emissions in the medium to long term. Over two days, we hosted five hours of discussion that will address: 1) Why is global heating now accelerating so much faster than before? 2) What are the consequences to people and the planet if we fail to act immediately? 3) How can we stop temperatures from rising and avert catastrophic heating: What’s the plan? 4) What immediate, practical steps can we take to develop and implement a new, integrated climate plan for humanity? This conference was open to all: the public, scientists, decision-makers—anyone who cares about the future of life on Earth. Watch the full conference, or just download a three-page event summary.
