Climate science explained in 60 seconds by the Royal Society and the US National Academy of Sciences.

If unchecked, continuing emissions will warm up the planet by 2.6°C to 4.8°C by the end of this century. This would have serious implications for human societies and the natural world.

This 60-second animation from the world’s two leading science academies brings you the science behind climate change.
