A session in Spanish with Climate Reality Leader Pedro-Andrés Sánchez-Gutiérrez and his colleagues Maria-Elena Cerecedo & David-Eduardo Guevara from Puebla, Mexico.

El cambio climático es generalizado, rápido y se está intensificando. Aug 2021(español), and Jan/April 2022
Según el último informe del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC), publicado hoy, los científicos están observando cambios en el clima de la Tierra en todas las regiones y en el sistema climático en su conjunto. Muchos de los cambios observados en el clima no tienen precedentes en miles, sino en cientos de miles de años, y algunos de los cambios que ya se están produciendo, como el aumento continuo del nivel del mar, no se podrán revertir hasta dentro de varios siglos o milenios.

Sin embargo, una reducción sustancial y sostenida de las emisiones de dióxido de carbono (CO2) y de otros gases de efecto invernadero permitiría limitar el cambio climático. Aunque las mejoras en la calidad del aire serían rápidas, podrían pasar entre 20 y 30 años hasta que las temperaturas mundiales se estabilizasen, según el informe del Grupo de Trabajo I del IPCC, Cambio Climático 2021: Bases físicas.

A special Gonzaga University Office of Sustainability presentation

Learn about this campaign and meet the GU students that made it happen! Featuring Lauren Gomez, Laura Marck, Grace Redpath and Emmy Wagner.
