Unburnable Futures: Navigating the Oil Dilemma To Meet 1.5°C Goals

The study presents the atlas of unburnable oil in the world, developed based on social and environmental criteria to lower CO ₂ emissions in the atmosphere, combat the results of climate modification and comply with this international treaty, signed in 2015 in Paris as part of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21). The brand-new post presents the atlas of unburnable oil in the world, a world map created with ecological and social requirements that warns which oil resources must not be made use of to satisfy the dedications of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 to mitigate the impacts of environment change.The article is led by Professor Martí Orta-Martínez, from the UBs Faculty of Biology and the UB Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio), and co-authored by Gorka Muñoa and Guillem Rius-Taberner (UB-IRBio), Lorenzo Pellegrini and Murat Arsel, from the Erasmus University Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and Carlos Mena, from the University of San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador).” The goal of no more than 1.5 ° C international warming requires a complete halt to expedition for brand-new fossil fuel deposits, a halt to the licensing of new fossil fuel extraction, and the early closure of an extremely considerable share (75%) of coal, oil and gas extraction jobs currently in production or already established,” the authors note.With the prospect of the outcomes of the research study, which has received funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the European Unions Next Generation funds, the authors call for immediate action by federal governments, corporations, citizens and big investors– such as pension funds– to right away halt any investment in the fossil fuel market and facilities if socio-environmental criteria are not used.
