  2. Why Are Greenhouse Gases Important With rising greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is occurring at rates much faster than anticipated and its effects are clearly felt worldwide. While there are positive steps in terms of the climate finance flows and the development of nationally determined contributions, far more ambitious plans and accelerated action are needed on mitigation and adaptation. Access to finance and strengthened capacities need to be scaled up at a much faster rate, particularly for least developed countries and small island developing States. https://smileymovement.org

  3. How do we do it? Increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving climate change. In 2017, greenhouse gas concentrations reached new highs, with globally averaged mole fractions of CO2 at 405.5 parts per million (ppm), up from 400.1 ppm in 2015, and at 146 per cent of pre-industrial levels. Moving towards 2030 emission objectives compatible with the 2°C and 1.5°C pathways requires a peak to be achieved as soon as possible, followed by rapid reductions. As of April 2019, 185 parties had ratified the Paris Agreement. Parties to the Paris Agreement are expected to prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions, and 183 parties had communicated their first nationally determined contributions to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, while 1 party had communicated its second. Under the Agreement, all parties are required to submit new nationally determined contributions, containing revised and much more ambitious targets, by 2020. https://smileymovement.org

  4. Smiley Talks We run live events in the UK, featuring interviews and panel discussions with charity speakers, campaigners and educators tackling real issues and promoting proven strategies. Smiley Movement puts on around eight Smiley Talks a year, with past topics including: ending homelessness, the road to zero emissions, and changing the world through empathy. The events span panel discussions, question and answer sessions, as well as networking opportunities. All of our events are free and streamed live – meaning you can watch the recording at home, whenever you want. Our in-person events are always held in wheelchair- friendly venues to be accessible to everyone. https://smileymovement.org
