A tenth of greenhouse gas emissions is a large slice and would go a long way in preventing global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), the threshold above which the catastrophic impacts of climate change will become increasingly difficult to manage. The overall cut in emissions required to achieve that goal is 45%.
