As global temperatures hit alarming new highs and crossing the 1.5°C threshold looks increasingly likely, the world is facing a moment of reckoning. While there has been encouraging progress—such as the rapid uptake of renewable energy and electric vehicles—emissions continue to rise, fossil fuel expansion persists, and most transformation across sectors remain stubbornly slow. 

With global climate efforts currently off track, and without immediate leadership to drive deep emissions cuts and scale-up finance, more communities will face escalating climate impacts, mounting debt and rising inequality and poverty. Vulnerable countries, particularly in the Global South, are racing against time to build resilience – not only to survive but thrive. 

Join the Allied for Climate Transformation consortium for a high-level webinar, where policymakers and experts will have a candid dialogue about our planet’s current trajectory for the second half of this critical decade with fresh ideas to deliver breakthroughs the world needs. Because maybe it is time to rethink the playbook.
