New MIT Reports Propose Practical Emissions-Reduction Strategies for Latin America and Southeast Asia

The 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), presently assembling in Katowice, Poland, amid grim warnings from the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C and the National Climate Assessment regarding the speed of climate change and severity of its effects, strives to get the world on track to maintain global warming much below 2 °C.
