Parasol Lost Report

This report addresses the escalating risk of “planetary insolvency,” a systemic breakdown driven by accelerating climate change and ecological destabilization. It highlights that global temperatures are rising faster than predicted, partly due to the loss of “aerosol cooling”—a hidden sunshade effect caused by air pollution that has offset approximately 0.5°C of warming. The report warns that, without urgent action, global warming is likely to exceed 2°C before 2050, a threshold associated with severe disruptions to food and water systems, increased migration, and major risks to human health and economic stability.
