104 The inflection point has already been reached in favor of renewable energy. Globally, although renewables represent only 12.55 percent of the total energy mix, it reflected a significant increase of 28 percent from 2015 to 2020. Soon, renewable energy would be a sufficient alternative to fossil fuel for powering the global economy. The use of fossil fuel which is harmful to the climate and environment and a threat to life and other human rights will then be proscribed, from whence its extraction, processing, and marketing shall be deemed as a human rights abuse and an illegal act as well. IX. Recommendations A. General Despite science telling us that even an increase in global temperature of 1.5°C above pre-industrial level will significantly harm natural and human systems, we are far from “holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above preindustrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels.”480 While more and more States have strengthened their commitments and increased their ambitions in addressing climate change, this is still not enough to avert catastrophic climate change in time. The latest IPCC report on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) shows that, even if all current NDCs are implemented, the world will still face a 2.7°C increase in temperature by the end of the century. There is an urgent need for a significant increase in the level of ambition of NDCs between now and 2030, a significant over-achievement of the latest NDCs, or a combination of both.481 There is a “need [for] maximum ambition from all countries on all fronts.”482 There is a vital need for a 45 percent reduction in GHG emissions from 2010 levels by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2050.483 Political will complemented by urgent action is necessary to meet these targets, and everyone, from governments to businesses and 480 Glasgow Climate Pact, para. 20 (The full text of the Glasgow Climate Pact is available at https:// www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-full-text-of-the-glasgow-climate-pact/ar-AAQFBS4) (last accessed on Apr. 25, 2022). 481 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Nationally Determined Contributions Under the Paris Agreement: Revised Synthesis Report by the Secretariat, FCCC/PA/CMA/2021/8/ Rev.1 (2021), available at https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/cma2021_08r01_E.pdf (last accessed Apr. 25, 2022), paras. 15, 29, & 150. 482 Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations, Speech at the COP26. 483 Id. at 4.
