Warming of about 2C creates dangerous risks such as rapid sea level rise or the release of methane from gas hydrates in the ocean that could prove catastrophic, potentially causing millions of people to move from coastlines and more extreme weather. This will mean more migration and more refugees.
The next 20 years is of unique importance to world history. If cities are polluted, congested and inefficient, they will be terrible places to live in.
