Klimawandel, Paris-Abkommen und das 2-Grad-Ziel in 3 Minuten erklärt
Summary
TLDRThe video script addresses the undeniable reality of global warming and the urgent need for action against climate change. It highlights the 2015 Paris Agreement, where 195 countries committed to limiting the global temperature rise to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this, a 40-70% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and reaching net-zero by 2100 is necessary. The script emphasizes that more than just renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels is needed; it calls for new energy technologies and a collective effort from individuals. It provides examples of personal actions, such as car-sharing, using public transport, and energy-saving competitions in workplaces and schools, to contribute to the ambitious two-degree goal.

What does the transcript suggest as the current global temperature increase since pre-industrial times?
-The transcript indicates that the global temperature has already risen by about 1 degree Celsius since pre-industrial times, which is around 1850.
What are the reduction targets for global greenhouse gas emissions as mentioned in the transcript?
-The transcript states that in order to achieve the two-degree target, there is a need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent by 2050 and to zero by 2100.
What actions are required beyond installing wind turbines and solar panels to meet the two-degree target?
-Beyond installing wind turbines and solar panels, the transcript suggests that more actions are needed such as utilizing geothermal and hydropower, avoiding the use of fossil fuels, and developing completely new energy technologies.
What is the average CO2 emissions per year for each European according to the transcript?
-The transcript mentions that on average, each European is responsible for 6.8 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
How can individual behavior directly influence a significant portion of CO2 emissions?
-The transcript suggests that through our behavior, we have a direct influence on a significant portion of CO2 emissions, and we can make a difference by adopting more climate-friendly practices.
What are some of the community-based initiatives mentioned in the transcript to reduce CO2 emissions?
-The transcript mentions community-based initiatives such as car sharing, ridesharing, and the use of public transportation as ways to reduce CO2 emissions.
What is the concept of a 'small competition' in the workplace or school suggested by the transcript?
-The transcript suggests organizing small competitions in the workplace or school to encourage more climate-friendly behavior, such as which department can cycle more kilometers or which class can save the most energy by not leaving unnecessary lights on.
What is the potential impact of collective climate-friendly behavior as suggested in the transcript?
-The transcript suggests that if many people align their behavior in a climate-friendly way, there is a chance to make a significant contribution to achieving the ambitious two-degree target.
What is the call to action presented in the transcript?
-The call to action in the transcript is to take initiative and start making changes in our behavior and practices to contribute to the fight against climate change and achieve the two-degree target.
Outlines
🌍 Climate Change and Global Warming Awareness
This paragraph discusses the undeniable reality of global warming and the urgency to address climate change. It mentions the 2015 Paris Agreement, where 195 countries agreed to limit the global temperature rise to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with an aim to keep it at 1.5 degrees if possible. The paragraph highlights that since the pre-industrial era, the Earth has already warmed by about one degree Celsius. It emphasizes the need for immediate action, not just through renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels, but also by reducing the use of fossil fuels and developing new energy technologies. The paragraph concludes by urging individuals to take personal responsibility for their CO2 emissions, suggesting community initiatives and collective efforts as ways to contribute to the ambitious two-degree goal.

ex-playmate erklärt klimawandel das
zwei-grad-ziel und was jeder von uns
dazu beitragen kann
artensterben veränderte klimazonen und
wetter extreme die globale erwärmung ist
nicht mehr zu leugnen und 2015 hat das
auch die weltgemeinschaft erkannt bei
der weltklimakonferenz in paris haben
sich 195 staaten der welt auf ein ziel
geeinigt
der temperaturanstieg soll deutlich
unter zwei grad celsius gehalten werden
wenn möglich sogar bei 15 grad und zwar
im vergleich zum vorindustriellen niveau
also etwa 1850 ein grad wärmer ist es
allerdings seitdem schon geworden
wir haben also keine zeit zu verlieren
das besondere an paris noch nie gab es
ein klimaabkommen das die ganze welt
besiegelt hat immerhin das ist mit viel
diplomatie nun erstmals gelungen mit dem
zwei-grad-ziel als kernbestandteil aber
um dieses ziel zu erreichen müssen wir
den weltweiten ausstoß von
treibhausgasen bis 2050 um 40 bis 70
prozent reduzieren und bis 2100 sogar
auf null senken
dafür müssen die staaten viel mehr tun
als windräder zu bauen und solarpanels
aufzustellen
geothermie und wasserkraft zu nutzen und
vor allem auf die nutzung fossiler
brennstoffe zu verzichten
es braucht völlig neue
energietechnologien und großem einsatz
nicht nur von den staaten sondern von
jedem einzelnen von uns im schnitt
entfallen auf jeden europäer 6,8 tonnen
co2 ausstoß pro jahr und auf den
großteil davon haben wir durch unser
verhalten direkten einfluss aber es ist
nicht damit getan etwas weniger zu
heizen um den deckel beim kochen auf dem
topf zu lassen
das kann zwar bei 5 mal kochen in der
woche pro jahr rund 120 kilogramm
einsparen
ist aber eher ein tropfen auf den heißen
stein mehr einfluss haben
gemeinschaftliche initiativen carsharing
mitfahrgelegenheiten und öffentliche
verkehrsmittel kann jeder nutzen
wie wäre es darüber hinaus mit einem
kleinen wettstreit in der firma welche
abteilung mehr kilometer auf dem rad
schafft oder in der schule
welche klasse am sparsamsten mit der
energie umgeht und kein unnötiges licht
brennen lässt wenn viele von uns
gemeinsam ihr verhalten klimaschonend
ausrichten haben wir eine chance einen
echten beitrag zum ambitionierten
zwei-grad-ziel zu leisten
also packen wir es an
