handle is hein.journals/forwa47 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 THE FLETCHERFORUM of WORLD AFFAIRS THE FucER ScHooL, Turs UNVERSrny WNER 2023 VoL 47:1 $ 4.oo USA Picturing a Green Planet EDITOR'S NOTE The last time The Fletcher Forum of World Afairs centered an issue on climate change was in 2015, just after the signing of the Paris Agreement. Much has changed over the last eight years: warming projections have decreased from 4 degrees to 2.7 degrees Celsius; climate denialism has been replaced by trepida- tion; and electric vehicle sales have grown more than 800 percent. In many ways, however, the situation remains the same. Climate change is still a crisis, and the world has yet to meet the moment. Scientists now agree on the deadline to do so: emissions must halve by 2030. We have eight years to undertake an equitable green transformation by radically transforming our economy, and with it, our values as an international community. But what will such a world look like? The Forum has brought together sixteen practitioners and academics from around the world to begin to answer that question and help us imagine an attainable future. When it comes to reducing emissions, DEBBIE GORDON makes the argument for focusing on methane in mitigation efforts. DANIEL REIFSNYDER, who contributed to our last edition on climate change, brings the Paris Agreement home by walking through what household-level emissions reductions can look like. TOBY PETERS and LEYLA SAYIN discuss ways to sustainably expand the global cold-chain to improve health outcomes without driving up emissions. Taking a bird's-eye view of sustainable economic development, ALVIN CAMBA and STEVEN GU make the case for investing in technologies to decarbonize large-scale infrastructure initiatives, pulling back the veil on the carbon-intensive industries of cement and steel. SALIEM FAKIR presents a vision for an extended just transition, building on South Africa's Just Energy Transition Partnership to help fund the move away from fossil fuels. BRETT MATTHEWS focuses the spotlight on financial inclusion as an essential tool for building resilience to climate change among oral communities. VOL.47:I WINTER 2023
