Climate Change Code Red: Why We Must Act Now

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a new report on the state of global climate change and the findings were damning, especially for Australia.

The situation is now so bad, UN Secretary-General António Guterres says the report is a “code red for humanity” and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk.

The Quicky speaks to two climate change experts to find out what more our Government can and should be doing enough to mitigate the impacts of climate change, and what we can all do as individuals to stop the destruction of our planet before it's too late.
