The UN Environment Emissions Gap Report 2017 (an annual analysis of emissions released every year since 2010) presents an assessment of current national mitigation efforts and the targets that individual countries have presented in their Nationally Determined Contributions, which form the foundation of the Paris Agreement.
The effect climate change and global warming has on wildlife is a hugely debated subject. Typically, when we discuss how global warming impacts animals that reside in colder climates, the Arctic and its polar bears are the go-to topic of conversation.
