        • the JETPs do not go far enough. This is dangerous as it still allows significant amounts of fossil fuel emissions that will breach 1.5 Deg C and increase chances of breaching severe planetary tipping points

      "It is clear that individuals in their variety of social roles can contribute significantly in emissions reduction," says Joyashree Roy, professor of economics at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India. But unless they are supported by the right infrastruture, technology and policy incentives, she says, this cannot achieve its full potential.
      • Comment
        • this statement epitomizes the crux of the matter
        • that demonstrates the entanglement between
          • a collective of (bottom-up) individuals and
          • top-down, system level actors
        • This is why the often-repeated mantra "individual actions don't matter" is not accurate
          • the contribution of individual actions DO matter, but only if it is supported by:
            • policy
            • ubiquitous 1.5C infrastructure
            • affordable 1.5C technologies and services
          • There is a MASS of people wanting to make the change
            • but that cannot happen unless it is
              • behaviorally and
              • economically pragmatic to do so
        • the real question to ask
          • in order to mobilize a bottom-up 1.5C lifestyle shift is
          • where are the leverage points for bottom-up actors (we individuals) to impact the top-down actors?
