The world's leading energy agency warned global carbon dioxide emissions were expected to rise at their second-fastest pace ever this year.
Now it's released a landmark report listing ambitious steps that are needed to cut down carbon dioxide emissions to zero in 30 years.
Among them is a ban on new developments in new coal, gas and oil projects.
The energy sector is responsible for about 75% of the emissions that are driving up global temperatures.
And the agency says a drastic scaling-back of fossil fuels is needed if the world is to stay within safe limits of global warming.
That includes no new gas boilers or petrol and diesel cars, to list just a few of the everyday conveniences that will be affected.
The IEA called on governments to 'act now' if they want to avert the most catastrophic effects of climate change.

So what are the challenges ahead?
