If we want to avoid the consequences of a climate disaster, ambitious and accelerated actions are necessary, as well as an urgent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the latest edition of the IPCC report.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body dedicated to the assessment of science related to climate change. On Monday (February 28), the second part of the IPCC report, on which hundreds of scientists have been working for over 7 years, premiered. The Report of Working Group II is the second part of the Sixth Assessment Report of the IPCC (AR6).
"This report is a terrible warning of the consequences of inaction," Hoesung Lee, chairman of the IPCC, said.
“It shows that climate change is a serious and growing threat to our prosperity and a healthy planet. Our actions today will shape the way humans adapt and the way nature responds to increasing climate threats,” he added.
