And so today's report's conclusion that while the scale of the challenge is monumental - the world must peak emissions by 2025, before halving them by 2030 - it also encouragingly makes clear that the world already has all of the tools it needs to achieve these aims, in order to keep the chances of limiting global warming to 1.5C

Deforestation and forest degradation are the second leading causes of global warming, responsible for about 15 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. To gage progress, 12 forestry experts camp in the forest, monitoring 400 sample plots and measuring trees to calculate how much carbon they store based on their biomass.
