high-level climate targets

High-level climate targets are ambitious goals set by governments or organizations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming. Common targets include limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, which helps prevent severe climate impacts. Achieving these goals involves transitioning to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and protecting natural carbon sinks like forests. These targets serve as guiding principles to coordinate international efforts, encourage investments in sustainable practices, and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
