From wildfires in Greece, Siberia, Turkey and North America, to floods in Europe, Turkey and China, to Olympic athletes breaking down in the Japanese heat \u2013 it is hitting our health and economic security.<\/p>\n<p>New science from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/report\/ar6\/wg1\/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_623c0258b61e5d3b57116270d54bb19179a415fc-1628506452-0-gqNtZGzNAeKjcnBszQkO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/a> traces the fingerprints of human activity across climate changes, showing that every degree of warming makes life more dangerous, whereas every bit of action makes it more liveable.<\/p>\n<p>That makes the UN\u2019s Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow this November our last shot at getting it right.<\/p>\n<p>National governments cannot do it alone. Businesses, investors, cities and regions can show governments that they are willing and able to follow the science. In so doing, they will carry their sectors, value chains, customers and citizens along in the race and drive greater national ambition.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/08\/12\/ipcc-report-call-arms-climate-science-courts-legal-experts-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>IPCC report<\/strong> a \u2018call to arms\u2019 for climate science in courts, legal experts say<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Long-term commitments to net zero emissions won\u2019t cut it. The science demands that we reduce global emissions by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/news-and-stories\/press-release\/cut-global-emissions-76-percent-every-year-next-decade-meet-15degc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7.6% per year<\/a> \u2013 or 50% within the 2020s &#8211; while reversing biodiversity loss. But while we can point to scores of laudable commitments for net zero in or before the 2040s, examples of those already cutting annual emissions by 7.6% are scarce.<\/p>\n<p>The work starts now, with wealthy countries and the private sector showing solidarity for those most at risk from Covid-19 and the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>It goes through the G7\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bills.parliament.uk\/publications\/42271\/documents\/584\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Build Back a Better World initiative<\/a>, which will mobilise private capital in developing countries towards climate action, health, digital technology and gender equity and equality; through the UN General Assembly, which should strengthen the drive for universal Covid-19 vaccinations; and the Food Systems Summit, which will give rise to public-private initiatives to transform the food sector, a major emitter and source of jobs and livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>It also requires G20 leaders to reaffirm their commitment to zero emissions by 2050 and how to do it: stop building coal projects, earmark stimulus spending for climate action and shore up the developed world\u2019s promised $100 billion per year in climate finance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/08\/11\/ipcc-report-prompts-calls-tackle-methane-emissions-cop26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>IPCC<\/strong>\u00a0report prompts calls to tackle methane emissions at Cop26<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Getting these moments right will turn Glasgow into a pivot point, where we choose to look outward rather than inward, to show solidarity rather than selfishness.<\/p>\n<p>This is when we create a Marshall Plan for climate action, not a Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I by apportioning blame and the burden of reparation to Germany &#8211; crippling the German economy and leading to World War II.<\/p>\n<p>The Marshall Plan ended World War II by generating public and private investment towards European reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>A Marshall Plan for climate action puts businesses, investors, cities and regions at its core &#8211; driving ambition from the bottom up to national governments. It embeds the IPCC\u2019s science across every corner of the economy, directing public and private investment from fossil fuels and deforestation to clean energy, electric and active transport and nature-positive business.<\/p>\n<p>This push has started, as demonstrated by the growth of the UN\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/racetozero.unfccc.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Race to Zero<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/racetozero.unfccc.int\/race-to-resilience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Race to Resilience<\/a> campaigns of private sector and local government actors committing to net zero by 2050 and greater resilience by 2030. But the science shows that every bit of action today will limit another fraction of a degree warming \u2013 so we need to keep racing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gonzalo Mu\u00f1oz and Nigel Topping are the
