"Ten years ago, this Climate Reality Check report would have been seen as alarmist. The fact that it would now be seen as a reasonable statement of the current situation should be a wake up call for all the Nero’s watching as Rome burns." 
-  Professor A.J. Pitman, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, University of New South Wales

Climate Reality Check 2021, published by Breakthrough (think tank based in Australia), is a resource designed to help climate practitioners, advocates, journalists, business leaders and policymakers to better understand the alarming mismatch between the current climate risks and considerably inadequate level of climate action. 

The think tank draws together current climate research from around the world to present 20 critical observations, insights and understandings to help inform and guide the stark choices that now stand before us.
