Organizations that are working to cut carbon emissions can look to their EHS Department for help . The United Nations has put it best: "The science shows clearly," the , "that in order to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve the livable planet, global temperature increase needs to be limited to 1.5 ° C above pre-industrial levels."
