people faced hunger, meaning their dietary-energy intake was insufficient for a normal, active, healthy life. FAO estimates this was 7.8% of the world's population.

Human missionProtected technologyEvidence firstPublic educationLong horizon
02 Human mission + human rights
Put human dignity
at the centre.
Energy, climate action, and advanced technology should protect the conditions people need to live with dignity, security, health, and agency.
A clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is not a luxury. In 2022, the United Nations General Assembly recognized it as a human right connected to health, food, water, and a life of dignity.
EESP's human mission begins there: explain risk clearly, expand access to clean and resilient energy, protect vulnerable communities, and ensure that progress returns time and possibility to people.
EESP connects this human mission with evidence-led technology development—turning public understanding into practical work for people and essential systems.
THE PUBLIC PROMISE · LONG TERM
Knowledge should help people act before crisis becomes catastrophe.
People deserve understandable evidence, honest limits, and a practical view of what can still be changed. EESP's long-term vision is a society that understands large connected risks, builds cleaner systems, protects human rights, and uses advanced computing in service of life.

FOOD CAPACITY + HUMAN ACCESS
Capacity is not access.
A 2001 report by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, citing Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates available at the time, said global agriculture could provide about 2,700 calories per person per day for 12 billion people.
HISTORICAL PRODUCTION-CAPACITY ESTIMATE
12 billion
This is not a claim that today's food system can deliver a healthy, nutritious, and sustainable diet to 12 billion people. It shows the difference between producing enough in aggregate and ensuring that food reliably reaches everyone.
EXPLORE THE ACCESS GAP
What do the official measures show?
Choose a measure. “Hunger,” food insecurity, and diet affordability describe different parts of the problem.
people experienced food insecurity—uncertain or constrained access to enough safe and nutritious food. This measure captures experiences such as reduced diet quality, skipped meals, or running out of food.
people could not afford a healthy diet. Producing calories is not enough when nutritious food remains economically out of reach.
Produce→Store→Move→Market→Afford→Nourish
Poverty and inequality are underlying causes of hunger. Conflict, climate shocks, high prices, damaged infrastructure, inadequate storage and cold chains, weak market access, and food loss or waste can break the path from harvest to household.
FROM CAPACITY TO HUMAN SECURITY
Turn enough food into reliable access.
There is no single switch that ends hunger. The evidence points to a connected program that protects people now while repairing the systems that determine whether nutritious food reaches every household.
01Protect people now
Use targeted social protection, school meals, and appropriate food or cash assistance so a lost job, price shock, disaster, or conflict does not immediately become hunger. Protect humanitarian access during crises.
02Strengthen resilient production
Support farmers with dependable water, healthy soils, suitable seeds, essential inputs, credit, knowledge, and diversified production while protecting the ecosystems agriculture depends on.
03Store and move food
Invest in storage, cold chains, reliable clean energy, transport, local processing, and transparent markets so food does not spoil or become unaffordable before it reaches people.
04Make nutrition affordable
Measure access to safe, diverse, nutritious food—not calories alone. Fair incomes, nutrition programs, public purchasing, and careful price monitoring can help healthy diets remain within reach.
05Coordinate and act early
Connect weather and conflict warnings, harvests, inventories, logistics, markets, and social protection. Share accountable data, reduce loss and waste, and respond before a shortage becomes an emergency.
The standard: success is not food existing somewhere in the system. It is every person having reliable physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food.
Different measures reveal different needs. Starvation is an acute medical emergency. Global monitoring uses distinct measures of chronic hunger, lived food insecurity, diet affordability, and acute crisis. Explore the official maps linked below to understand each measure and where help is needed.
FOLLOW THE ELECTRICITY
Making clean power is one step.
Getting it to people is another.
Choose a stage to see why generation, a strong grid, and flexible demand belong together.
More clean electricity needs a way into the grid.
Low-emissions sources produce electricity. But adding generation alone does not guarantee reliable delivery: projects also need connections and sufficient network capacity.
A reliable system must balance changing conditions.
Power networks move electricity. Storage can shift some supply to another time; flexible demand can shift some use. Together with generation and grid upgrades, they help keep supply and demand in balance. Storage does not create energy.
The goal is useful power, when people need it.
Homes, hospitals, schools, and industry need dependable electricity. Efficiency and moving suitable activities away from peak demand can ease pressure on the system.

HUMAN MOBILITY Climate hazards can force evacuation, displacement, planned relocation or migration when homes, water, food, health and livelihoods are disrupted. Climate is rarely the only cause: inequality, housing, economics, conflict, public protection and recovery capacity shape who moves, where and whether people can safely return. Select a year to see its context.

OBSERVED CONDITIONS + CONSEQUENCES
Heat persisted across the Earth system.
HUMAN CONSEQUENCES
Extreme heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones caused major disruption and devastation across regions.
MIGRATION + DISPLACEMENT
Flood and storm impacts forced evacuations and displacement; long-term migration outcomes also depend on protection, livelihoods, housing and recovery.
WHAT CHANGED IN NATURE
Ocean heat reached another record while glaciers and sea ice continued to show long-term loss.
WHY IT MATTERS
One cooler step from 2024 did not reverse the trend: 2015–2025 remained the hottest 11 years on record.
WHAT THIS MEASUREMENT SHOWS
One hot or cool year does not define the climate trend. The long-term direction is clear, while year-to-year variability still moves the annual value.
READ WITH CARE
The 2025 observation and 2100 projections are different kinds of evidence. The projection changes with emissions, policy, technology, and human choices.
CLIMATE Reality + human consequences
The climate crisis is
a human crisis.
Follow the evidence from planetary change to human consequence.
Climate change is not a distant problem. It is already increasing risks to health, food, water, shelter, infrastructure, livelihoods, and the natural systems people depend on.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports that 2015–2025 were the hottest 11 years on record, despite natural year-to-year variation.
Future warming still depends on human choices. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) projections below compare fully delivered climate pledges with policies already in place.
Every fraction of a degree avoided reduces risk. EESP presents these findings for public education; it does not produce climate forecasts or event-attribution studies.

Choose a date to explore the evidence, the stakes, and the action still possible. These are milestones for action—not a countdown to an unavoidable ending.
NOW–2030 · ACTION WINDOW
The next few years shape the decades ahead.
The IPCC finds that rapid, sustained emissions cuts and faster adaptation this decade reduce future losses for people and ecosystems. Some damage is already irreversible; further harm can still be limited.
Read the evidence · IPCC 2023, section 4.1 ↗What can still changeCut emissions while preparing communities for heat, floods, drought, and fire. Cleaner energy, early warnings, resilient water systems, and ecosystem protection work together.
2035 · GLOBAL EMISSIONS PATHWAY
A smaller annual footprint. Less warming pressure.
UNEP's 2025 assessment calls for global annual greenhouse-gas emissions in 2035 to be 55% below 2019 levels for alignment with 1.5 °C pathways. This is a pathway requirement—not a prediction that the cuts will happen.
Read the evidence · UNEP, November 2025 ↗What can still changeTurn pledges into delivered emissions cuts. Faster reductions can limit how far and how long warming exceeds 1.5 °C. Missing a milestone does not make later action pointless.
EARLY 2050s · MODELLED 1.5 °C PATHWAYS
Stop adding to the CO₂ total.
In IPCC-assessed pathways that limit warming to 1.5 °C with no or limited temporary exceedance, global net-zero CO₂ is reached in the early 2050s. These are modelled pathways, not a guaranteed timetable.
CO₂ released=CO₂ removed
Read the evidence · IPCC 2022, section C.2 ↗What can still changeDeeply cut CO₂ emissions and balance the remainder with removals. Other greenhouse gases also need deep cuts: net-zero CO₂ is not the same as net-zero emissions of every greenhouse gas.
2100 · CONDITIONAL OUTLOOK
The future is still being shaped.
UNEP's 2025 outlook is 2.3–2.5 °C with national pledges fully delivered, versus 2.8 °C under current policies, over this century. These global estimates use the 1850–1900 baseline; they are not local temperatures or fixed outcomes.
Read the evidence · UNEP, November 2025 ↗What can still changeStronger action can lower the risks future generations inherit. Every fraction of warming avoided matters for lives, health, water, food, and ecosystems.
Evidence reviewed September 9, 2026. IPCC and UNEP assessments have different dates and purposes; these milestones are not one continuous forecast. The buttons are not spaced to a time scale. No date here means prevention becomes impossible or a particular species must disappear.
Explore what different warming levels mean for life on EarthINTERACTIVE CONSEQUENCE ATLAS · IPCC ASSESSED RISK
Warming is a number.
The consequences are lived.
Select a long-term global warming level to see how risk changes across people, air, water, forests, and the species that share this planet with us.
Future generations deserve clean air, safe water, living ecosystems, and a healthy planet. They deserve Earth as much as we do.
EXPLORE WHAT YOU WANT TO PROTECT
First choose a warming level above. Then choose a topic to focus the atlas.
All six consequence areas are shown for 1.5 °C.
TERRESTRIAL SPECIES ASSESSED3–14%
likely to face a very high risk of extinction at 1.5 °C of long-term global warming.
Heat, smoke, and ozone compound exposure.
Hotter conditions and wildfire smoke can worsen regional air-quality episodes. PM₂.₅, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide affect health on different timescales, so local monitoring still matters.
Reliability becomes harder.
Drought, heavy rainfall, flood, and water-quality risks rise unevenly. Crop losses and disrupted drinking-water systems can follow when hazards meet vulnerable infrastructure.
Stress arrives before disappearance.
Heat, drought, pests, wildfire, and shifting seasons can weaken forests, change habitats, and reduce recovery even where tree cover has not yet vanished.
Displacement pressure grows.
Storms, floods, drought, fire, unsafe heat, and damaged livelihoods can force evacuation or movement. Climate is a driver—not the only driver—of migration.
Extinction risk is already material.
IPCC projects a 3–14% range for terrestrial species assessed at very high extinction risk. Warm-water coral reefs are projected to decline a further 70–90%.
Already dangerous means biologically real.
Heat can overwhelm the body's ability to cool itself, causing dehydration and heat illness while adding strain to the heart and kidneys. Ozone and wildfire smoke can inflame airways and worsen asthma. Pregnancy, infancy, childhood, older age, outdoor work, and existing illness can increase vulnerability.
TERRESTRIAL SPECIES ASSESSED3–18%
likely to face a very high risk of extinction at 2 °C of long-term global warming.
Longer heat and smoke seasons raise the burden.
More people and ecosystems can face repeated heat, wildfire-smoke, and ground-level ozone episodes. Exposure and health effects remain local and unequal.
Scarcity and excess can coexist.
Physical water availability and water-related hazards rise across assessed regions. Drought in one place and destructive rainfall in another can stress food, sanitation, and energy systems at the same time.
Recovery windows narrow.
Repeated heat, drought, fire, and pest disturbance can outpace regrowth, shift forest composition, and weaken the carbon and water functions forests provide.
Loss can become repeated displacement.
Homes may be rebuilt only to be damaged again. Safe return, planned relocation, insurance, public protection, and livelihoods increasingly shape who can remain.
More species cross high-risk thresholds.
IPCC projects a 3–18% range for terrestrial species assessed at very high extinction risk. Warm-water coral reefs are projected to decline by more than 99%.
The same pathways create a larger burden.
The body does not acquire a new response at 2 °C; harmful exposures become more common or severe. Compared with 1.5 °C, assessed risks rise for heat-related illness and mortality, ozone-related mortality where precursor emissions remain high, and the suitability or range of some climate-sensitive infections.
TERRESTRIAL SPECIES ASSESSED3–29%
likely to face a very high risk of extinction at 3 °C of long-term global warming.
Repeated extremes become a systems problem.
Severe heat, smoke, dust, and ozone episodes can overlap with power, housing, and health-system strain. Conditions still vary sharply by region and season.
Cascading disruption becomes more likely.
Water scarcity, flood, coastal impacts, crop stress, and infrastructure failures can interact. The result can be higher food insecurity and harder recovery.
Some ecosystems transform.
Biome shifts, local species loss, fire, and declining resilience can change forest structure and the services forests provide to climate, water, wildlife, and communities.
Adaptation limits become visible.
Some exposed places face severe limits on safe habitation and livelihoods. Displacement and migration pressures rise, while policy, resources, and protection still shape outcomes.
Loss becomes increasingly irreversible.
IPCC projects a 3–29% range for terrestrial species assessed at very high extinction risk. Risk is high to very high across most ocean and coastal ecosystems.
Compounding hazards become harder to manage.
Three degrees is an escalation point—not a clinical threshold. Severe heat, smoke, unsafe water, food insecurity, outages, and displacement can overlap, increasing illness and injury while disrupting health services. Risk remains unequal and depends strongly on housing, work, health, preparedness, and access to care.

LUNGS · POLLUTED AIR
The air we breathe affects more than today.
Fine-particle pollution is linked to respiratory disease and lung cancer. Repeated exposure over time matters, even when each day does not cause obvious symptoms.
Protection starts with cleaner air. Use local air-quality guidance and the site's smoke and respirator guide to understand practical precautions.
Read WHO's air-pollution evidence ↗HEART · HEAT + AIR POLLUTION
Cooling the body can put the heart under strain.
Extreme heat stresses the heart as the body tries to cool itself. Air pollution also contributes to cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke.
Risk is not the same for everyone. Existing health conditions and access to cool, clean spaces affect how well people can cope.
Read WHO's heat-and-health evidence ↗Read WHO's air-pollution evidence ↗KIDNEYS · EXTREME HEAT
Heat can strain the kidneys, too.
The body's efforts to manage extreme heat can stress the kidneys and cause acute kidney injury. Hot conditions can become dangerous quickly, not only after years of exposure.
Act on heat alerts. Seek cooler conditions and follow public-health advice. People with existing health conditions may need individual guidance.
Read WHO's heat-and-health evidence ↗These are general health pathways—not a diagnosis, a personal risk calculator, or effects triggered at one global warming level. Risk depends on exposure, health, and living conditions. Severe chest pain or difficulty breathing requires immediate medical attention.

SPECIES PRIORITY EXPLORER · WHERE RISK BECOMES URGENT
Who is exposed early—and what protection means.
There is no scientifically defensible global list of “which animal dies first.” This explorer identifies named animals and ecosystems facing early, severe, or hard-to-reverse pressure. Priority means high exposure and limited room to adapt—not that one life matters more than another.
EARLY ECOSYSTEM WARNING70–90%
further decline of warm-water reef-building corals projected at 1.5 °C; losses exceed 99% at 2 °C.
TIME SIGNAL
Conditions capable of severe annual bleaching before 2040 in some Pacific islands; at about 90% of reefs by 2055.
IPCC assesses this with medium confidence. These are reef-loss and bleaching-condition projections—not dates when every coral species becomes extinct.
PROTECT FIRST
Keep refuges alive while the world cuts emissions.
Limit warming; protect less-exposed reef refuges; reduce sewage, sediment, destructive fishing, and other local pressures; restore damaged reefs where feasible. Local action helps, but cannot replace emissions cuts.
SEA-ICE BREEDING SPECIALIST26–47%
projected global population decline by 2050 in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assessment.
TIME SIGNAL
Close to extinction by 2100 under a business-as-usual scenario.
IPCC reports this outcome with medium confidence; under a 1.5 °C scenario, decline is projected to halt by 2060 with low confidence. These are scenario-dependent projections, not a fixed extinction date.
PROTECT FIRST
Protect the climate system and the breeding system together.
Rapid emissions reductions, protection of sea-ice breeding areas, colony monitoring, minimal disturbance, and precautionary ecosystem-based fisheries management are complementary protections.
SEA-ICE-DEPENDENT ANIMALS1.5–2 °C
is the warming range in which the Arctic could be practically ice-free in September in some years.
WHO IS EXPOSED
Polar bears, ringed seals, and walruses depend on sea ice in different ways.
Loss of hunting, breeding, resting, and movement habitat can undermine regional persistence. This is not a forecast that all three species become globally extinct at one temperature.
PROTECT FIRST
Preserve ice, food webs, and refuge from disturbance.
Reduce greenhouse-gas emissions; protect denning, breeding, sea-ice, and coastal haul-out habitat; limit shipping, noise, and industrial disturbance; support Indigenous and agency co-management.
CLIMATIC RANGE LOSS · 34,000 INSECTS ASSESSED6% → 18%
projected to lose more than half of their climatically determined range at 1.5 °C versus 2 °C.
WHAT IT MEASURES
Range loss rises sharply; this is not an insect-extinction count.
The assessment includes many kinds of insects and is not limited to pollinators. It shows how a half-degree difference can shrink the climate space available to populations.
PROTECT FIRST
Build connected, flower-rich, lower-pesticide habitat.
Protect nesting sites and seasonal food, use integrated pest management, preserve microclimate refuges, and monitor mismatches between flowering and pollinator activity.
HAWAIIAN FOREST BIRDS AT THE BRINK4 named birds
ʻakikiki, ʻakekeʻe, kiwikiu, and ʻākohekohe are identified in U.S. government extinction-prevention work.
WHY NOW
Avian malaria and invasive mosquitoes are the immediate threat; warming erodes cool refuges.
Government assessments warned that some could face extinction within very short time horizons. This is a combined climate, disease, habitat, and invasive-species crisis—not climate alone.
PROTECT FIRST
Stop disease while protecting the places that remain.
Urgent mosquito and disease control, protection and restoration of remaining high-elevation forest, invasive-species control, and carefully governed captive or other ex-situ safeguards may all be needed.
Read the evidence precisely: population decline, habitat loss, climatic-range loss, reef decline, and extinction risk are different measurements. Climate change does not create one global extinction schedule; land use, pollution, disease, invasive species, conservation, and the speed of warming also shape survival.
How to read the warming atlas: 1.5, 2, and 3 °C are long-term global averages above 1850–1900—not local air temperature or a person's exposure. Warming changes the frequency, intensity, duration, and overlap of hazards; the body does not switch biology at a single global threshold. These are population-level risks, not a diagnosis or prediction for an individual.
CANADA FIRE + SMOKE EVIDENCE · GOVERNMENT OF CANADA

Reported fire is not the same as detected heat.
Active fires are supplied by provincial, territorial, and Parks Canada agencies and are colour-coded by status on the federal layer. Hotspots are satellite-detected heat signatures from the last 24 hours. One hotspot does not measure fire size, and cloud cover or a small fire can prevent detection.

CANADA'S AQHI · ACTIVITY + RESPIRATOR GUIDE
When should an N95 enter the plan?
Canada reports a 1–10+ Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), not the U.S. AQI. There is no single AQHI number at which everyone must wear an N95. Tap a level to see the official activity advice and when a respirator can help during wildfire smoke.
SMOKE ACTION
During wildfire smoke, reduce time outdoors and seek cleaner air first.
If you must be outside, consider wearing a well-fitting, properly worn NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent KN95/KF94 to reduce the fine particles you breathe.
Waiting for the Toronto reading. AQHI 4–6 is shown first because a reading of 4 means moderate risk—not “normal” and not an automatic mask emergency.
Enjoy your usual outdoor activities.
An N95 is not generally needed because of the AQHI number alone. Do not rely only on seeing or smelling smoke: check the current and forecast AQHI and local alerts because smoke can affect air even when it is not obvious.
Most people can continue as usual.
If coughing or throat irritation develops, reduce strenuous outdoor activity. People at higher risk who develop symptoms should consider reducing or rescheduling it. During wildfire smoke, reduce exposure first; if being outside is unavoidable, a well-fitting N95 or equivalent can reduce fine-particle exposure.
Reduce exposure—especially if you are at higher risk.
People at higher risk should reduce or reschedule strenuous outdoor activity. Everyone else should ease off if symptoms develop. During wildfire smoke, seek cleaner air first; if you must be outside, consider a well-fitting N95, KN95, or KF94.
Cleaner air comes first.
People at higher risk should avoid strenuous outdoor activity; everyone should reduce or reschedule it, especially if symptoms develop. During heavy smoke, limit time outdoors and protect indoor air. If you must go outside, a well-fitting respirator is secondary protection—not permission to extend exposure.
WHAT AN N95 CAN DOFilter smoke particles when it fits and is worn correctly.
A NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent KN95/KF94 can reduce exposure to fine particles in wildfire smoke.
WHAT IT CANNOT DOFilter gases or replace cleaner air.
It does not protect against gases such as carbon monoxide, ozone, or nitrogen dioxide, so it is not complete protection from smoke, smog, or traffic pollution.
Who may be at higher risk: infants and children, pregnant people, adults 65 and older, people with heart, lung, or other chronic conditions, and people with frequent or prolonged outdoor exposure. Follow local public-health guidance and your health-care professional's advice.
Key respirator cautions: do not use one on children under 2, anyone who has trouble breathing while wearing it, or anyone who cannot remove it without help. Do not sleep in it; replace it when dirty, damp, or damaged; and move to cleaner air before taking it off when possible. In extreme heat, prioritize staying cool. Seek immediate medical attention for severe symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing.

REPEATED EXPOSURE · WHAT AQHI 4 DOES AND DOES NOT MEAN
Moderate every day is not nothing.
It is not a cigarette count.
Think cumulative dose—not compound interest.
Unlike money, health risk does not grow at a fixed interest rate. But concentration × breathing rate × time shapes cumulative exposure, and repeated exposure can keep re-triggering inflammation and biological stress. Long-term population risk is assessed from pollutant concentrations over months and years—not one AQHI number.
AQHI 4 cannot be converted into cigarettes per day.
Canada's AQHI combines ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and PM₂.₅ into short-term health risk. Cigarette smoke is a different mixture and dose. A defensible long-term comparison would require actual PM₂.₅ concentrations over time, personal exposure, activity, indoor air, and many other factors.
Particles: yes. Gases: no.
A well-fitted, certified N95 can reduce inhaled wildfire-smoke particles and other airborne particles. It does not filter carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, or other gases and vapours. Cleaner indoor air, appropriate filtration, reduced strenuous exposure, and official local guidance remain important.
CHOOSE A POLLUTANT TO LEARN MORE
The live AQHI combines short-term health risk from multiple pollutants. These cards explain individual pollutants and longer exposure timescales.
FINE PARTICULATE MATTERPM₂.₅
Tiny particles from combustion, wildfire smoke, industry, traffic, and atmospheric chemistry can travel deep into the lungs.
Can aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, especially during high-smoke or pollution episodes.
Repeated exposure can trigger biological stress even though particles do not simply accumulate in the body forever.
Long-term exposure is associated with higher risks of heart disease, stroke, chronic respiratory disease, and lung cancer.
NITROGEN DIOXIDENO₂
A traffic- and combustion-linked gas that can be elevated near busy roads and fossil-fuel power sources; it also helps form ozone and particulate matter.
Higher exposure can irritate airways and worsen respiratory symptoms in susceptible people.
Repeated exposure is linked with respiratory harm, including asthma-related effects.
Road proximity and total exposure history matter more than one isolated reading; risk reflects a mixture of pollutants and individual vulnerability.
GROUND-LEVEL OZONEO₃
A major part of smog, formed when precursor gases react in sunlight. It is different from the protective ozone layer high in the atmosphere.
Can reduce lung function, inflame airways, and worsen asthma during high-ozone conditions.
Repeated seasonal exposure can add to respiratory burden, especially for people active outdoors.
Long-term health risk depends on recurring exposure, regional chemistry, heat, sunlight, emissions, and personal vulnerability.
CARBON MONOXIDECO
A colourless gas from incomplete combustion that interferes with the blood's ability to deliver oxygen. It is not carbon dioxide (CO₂).
High exposure can be an acute medical emergency. Suspected indoor or enclosed-space exposure requires immediate safety action.
Ongoing sources must be fixed; a single outdoor reading does not describe personal exposure indoors, in vehicles, or near combustion.
Do not treat CO as a simple cumulative-dose story. Its primary public-health danger is acute or repeated source exposure; long-term air-pollution burden is more often tracked with PM₂.₅, ozone, and NO₂.
How to use this page: the Toronto panel relays official ECCC hourly AQHI observations; the worldwide explorer displays a different, model-based comparison product. EESP does not operate the station, a certified sensor network, or the global model. AQHI and AQI describe short-term risk; the pollutant cards provide general education about exposure timescales. Always follow official local alerts and qualified medical advice.
The IPCC finds that every additional increment of warming intensifies multiple hazards and increases losses and damage. The difference between pathways is measured in lives, health, ecosystems, and choices.
Heat, smoke, floods, storms, unsafe water, disrupted food systems, disease, displacement, and mental-health strain make climate change a direct and indirect threat to human health.
People with fewer resources, fragile infrastructure, existing health conditions, or high exposure are often harmed first and have the least capacity to recover.

Read the boundary: IEA scenarios are not forecasts. Warming reflects the whole energy system and all greenhouse gases—not oil alone. Only the published scenario values are shown; values between them are not estimated.
02 · INFRASTRUCTURE LOCK-IN
Choose an option: compare the lifetime emissions committed by fossil infrastructure with the cumulative net CO₂ in pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot.
1.5°C pathway510 GtCO₂
Central estimate · assessed range 330–710Already operating660 GtCO₂
Central estimate · assessed range 460–890The central estimate for infrastructure already operating is higher than the central amount in 1.5°C-compatible pathways.
What this does—and does not—show: assessed ranges overlap. The comparison covers all fossil-fuel infrastructure, not oil alone, and assumes historical operating patterns without additional abatement.
THE EVIDENCE CHAIN
Policy shapes investment. Investment builds infrastructure. Infrastructure persists. Lifetime emissions shape warming. The result is not destiny—but delaying the transition narrows the choices available later.
INTERACTIVE SPILL REALITY · ITOPF + NOAA + EPA
Lower frequency does not mean zero consequence.
Reported tanker-spill frequency has fallen sharply since the 1970s. The remaining risk still matters because a single large event can damage water, coastlines, wildlife, livelihoods, and habitats for years.

~4,000 tof oil lost to the environment from those 2025 tanker incidents
What this record shows: tanker spills over seven tonnes have declined by more than 90% since the 1970s. The record does not isolate the causes of that decline, and it does not eliminate the continuing possibility of consequential spills. ITOPF also notes annual variation, data limitations, and the disproportionate effect of a small number of large incidents.

Introduce your capability06 Who leads EESP
Founder-led.
Accountable to evidence.
Rovita is the founder and driving force behind EESP, connecting the original insight, the evidence standard, and the human purpose of the work.
FOUNDER
Rovita Malcolm Khan
Rovita began with a pattern she saw across complex systems: instability often develops before failure becomes obvious. If those early signals could be recognized in time, could a system respond sooner—safely, measurably, and within clear limits?
She turned that question into an engineering program. Rather than claim a universal solution, Rovita chose quantum technology as the first proving ground, where noise, drift, incomplete information, and delayed feedback make the problem demanding and testable. She pushed the work from architecture and equations into simulation, rejected results when a modelling shortcut made them unreliable, corrected the model, and kept the limits visible.
That evidence-first path led to EESP PQSA v0.3: 216 matched controlled simulations across defined conditions, with four predeclared screening checks met. It is a research foundation—not a finished product—and now guides the next phase of development under the evidence standards described on this site.
Rovita's larger purpose is why EESP also makes public evidence understandable: help people see risk earlier, learn what the evidence does and does not show, and make better choices for the living world. The climate education on this site is a separate evidence track; it does not claim that the quantum study validates climate applications.
WHY IT MATTERS
Knowledge should help us
protect the future.
Founder perspective · A message from the founder
WHY EESP EXISTS
Future generations deserve more than a planet they can survive. They deserve one they can live on—comfortably, safely, and freely.
I believe technology should serve people and the living world. Progress should mean cleaner air, dependable water, resilient communities, healthy forests and oceans, and a future in which human dignity and biodiversity are protected.
Science and engineering matter most when they help us understand risk, reduce harm, and act earlier. We should be honest about uncertainty, careful with evidence, and urgent without exaggeration. Uncertainty is not a reason for panic—but neither is it a reason to wait.
EESP is my commitment to that standard: ask difficult questions, test every claim, protect the core intellectual property, collaborate across disciplines, and build technology with a clear human purpose. The measure is evidence over assumption, responsibility over delay, and progress that leaves people and the living world more resilient.

FUTURE VISION · HUMAN FREEDOM
A secure floor.
Time to build what comes next.
Rovita's long-term vision is a world in which progress expands more than output: it expands security, time, and the freedom to care, learn, build, create, and contribute.
The Human Mission section above carries the policy discussion. Universal Basic Income is one idea worth studying—not the vision itself. The principle here is broader: technological abundance should widen human possibility while protecting a habitable planet.
CHOOSE A PRINCIPLE
What should progress return to people?
A dependable floor could give people more power to make decisions beyond the next bill, meal, or crisis.
More room for care, recovery, education, family, reflection, and participation in community.
Stability can create room to engineer solutions, start ventures, repair systems, and turn ideas into useful work.
Art, culture, teaching, and research should not be luxuries reserved only for people who can afford spare time.
The benefits of clean energy, automation, and advanced computing should broaden opportunity and human wellbeing.
Test ideas publicly, measure trade-offs, protect essential services, listen to affected communities, and change course when evidence requires it.
The future should not ask people merely to survive the systems we build. It should give them the security and time to help shape them.
Direction, not a finished policy: the policy caveats and evidence links are presented in the Human Mission section above. This founder section states the long-horizon principle.
07 Collaboration mission
The big picture needs
many kinds of expertise.
EESP connects public climate education and quantum-technology research through one human purpose: a safer future. Each draws on its own evidence. Any future energy, climate-resilience, or infrastructure application will require its own dedicated testing. We welcome organizations that can teach, challenge, test, and build alongside us.
Potential collaboration areas These are the kinds of organizations EESP hopes to meet. No current partnership or affiliation is implied.
Renewable generation, storage, efficiency, and low-emissions technology teams working toward a reliable transition.
Organizations that understand reliability, demand, grid modernization, and the realities of energy-system change.
Teams turning weather, ocean, land, emissions, and satellite data into public understanding and decision support.
Qualified researchers who can evaluate public evidence, support testing, and help advance supercomputing and staged hardware work through appropriate confidential channels.
Climate, energy, engineering, health, policy, and social-science expertise that can keep the mission evidence-led and human-centred.

FROM SYSTEMS CAPABILITY TO HUMAN BENEFIT
How this vision could become real.
Our long horizon path starts with proving bounded predictive stabilization, then connecting it to increasingly complex energy and infrastructure systems as evidence, partners, regulation, and safety allow. If advanced clean-energy sources, including practical fusion, become available, EESP's envisioned role is not to build the reactor. It is to help the surrounding systems sense, coordinate, stabilize, distribute, store, and use energy intelligently.
Future pathway, not a current capability claim. Every stage depends on technical validation, real hardware evidence, qualified partners, regulatory approval, and safe deployment.
01Self sufficient buildingsHomes and buildings that do more for the people inside them
For people. Healthier indoor air, reliable power and water, local food capacity, lower waste, and greater resilience during outages or climate stress.
Pathway. Combine local generation, batteries and thermal storage, rainwater capture, water reuse, vertical agriculture, geothermal exchange, material recovery, and adaptive building controls.
EESP's envisioned role. Coordinate the sensing and control layer so energy, water, storage, climate, and recovery systems can respond together within defined operating limits.
02Energy independent communitiesNeighborhoods that can produce, share and recover essential resources
For people. Communities that can maintain essential services through grid disruption, extreme weather, or supply shocks while reducing dependence on a single fragile source.
Pathway. Link building-scale generation and storage through microgrids, district energy, shared water systems, flexible demand, and local resource recovery.
EESP's envisioned role. Forecast changing conditions and help coordinate generation, storage, demand, and recovery across many connected assets without removing human authority.
03Regenerative infrastructureSystems designed to recover resources instead of only consuming them
For people. Cleaner water, less pollution, longer-lived infrastructure, healthier ecosystems, and fewer resources lost as waste.
Pathway. Design water, heat, materials, waste, and energy as connected loops: recover useful outputs, reuse materials, extend equipment life, and restore environmental capacity where possible.
EESP's envisioned role. Help detect instability and inefficiency early enough for infrastructure to adapt before losses become failures.
04Intelligent citiesUrban systems that respond to real conditions instead of fixed assumptions
For people. Cleaner air, more reliable utilities, safer transport, lower waste, and public systems that recover faster when conditions change.
Pathway. Connect privacy-conscious sensing with energy, water, buildings, transport, air quality, emergency systems, and environmental monitoring so each layer can respond to the others.
EESP's envisioned role. Provide bounded predictive coordination across complex infrastructure while preserving explicit constraints, operator visibility, and safe fallback.
05Abundant clean energyMore energy, with less environmental cost and better control
For people. Reliable energy can support clean water, food production, hospitals, housing, mobility, industry, climate adaptation, and a higher baseline of human security.
Pathway. Build a diverse clean-energy system using technologies that prove practical at scale: renewables, storage, geothermal, advanced grids, fission, and potentially fusion if fusion becomes technically and economically viable.
Where fusion fits. Fusion is one possible long-horizon source of abundant clean energy. EESP does not claim to build fusion reactors. If practical fusion arrives, the surrounding grid, storage, thermal, distribution, and industrial systems will still need fast sensing, predictive stabilization, fault handling, and coordinated control.
EESP's envisioned role. Develop and validate the control intelligence that could help those complex energy systems stay within safe operating bounds and deliver useful energy reliably.
06Human time and agencyThe reason to build the infrastructure in the first place
For people. The goal is not automation for its own sake. It is fewer avoidable burdens, more reliable essentials, healthier environments, and more time for people to learn, care, create, work, rest, and choose how they live.
Pathway. Use intelligent infrastructure to automate repetitive system management while keeping consequential choices, governance, and safety authority with people.
EESP's envisioned role. Make complex systems more capable of recognizing instability and responding within clear bounds so technology expands human agency rather than replacing it.
