Another eventful year has passed, and the urgency of addressing the climate crisis looms larger than ever before. Record high temperatures, extreme weather events, and other growing impacts serve as frequent reminders that the climate challenge is with us now: it can no longer be treated as a problem for the future. We find ourselves moving ever closer to the milestone years of 2030 and 2050, when many countries have set emissions reduction goals. Reaching these goals demands swifter and more ambitious action than ever. Analyses have shown that, in this critical decade, we must strengthen domestic and international policy frameworks to dramatically accelerate our efforts to address climate change. We also know some amount of climate change is already incorporated into our future. But there is still time to avoid the worst impacts if we act with all the tools we have, including emissions trading.
