The document discusses the impacts of increasing global temperatures from 0-6 degrees Celsius. It notes that between 0-2 degrees there will be increased floods, droughts, forest fires and water shortages. Between 2-4 degrees there will be millions of refugees as parts of the world become too hot and dry to inhabit, and major cities could be flooded. Above 4 degrees, civilization may be destroyed due to resource shortages and natural disasters. The rest of the document discusses how bamboo can be used as part of a bioeconomy to replace fossil fuel and oil-based products, providing renewable resources, jobs and income while mitigating climate change impacts.
