The scientific consensus is clear. The world confronts an urgent carbon problem. The carbon in our atmosphere has created a blanket of gas that traps heat and is changing the world’s climate. Already, the planet’s temperature has risen by 1 degree centigrade. If we don’t curb emissions, and temperatures continue to climb, science tells us that the results will be catastrophic. At the same time, we have to work on global challenges such as responsible consumption and production, quality education, and decent work and economic growth.
Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030. Ålesund Future Lab, a part of United Nation’s programme, is working towards reaching United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 through partnerships.
