When words aren’t enough, we draw the picture. Nuclear danger is higher than at any point since the Cold War. ⚠ More warheads ⚠ Fewer safeguards ⚠ Growing risks of proliferation We can choose a safer future. Watch our new animated video: youtube.com/watch?v=8jm7e4…

On confond aussi le niveau de réchauffement mondial cible, qui permet de déterminer le budget carbone restant pour calibrer la réduction de nos émissions (atténuation) & les seuils de référence pour calculer les niveaux de risques auxquels ns devrons ns adapter/nous préparer. 3/
