This week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Synthesis Report for the Sixth Assessment Report during the Panel’s 58th Session held in Interlaken, Switzerland from 13 – 19 March 2023. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the latest climate science and its implications for the planet.
In the report, the IPCC scientists delivered a stark warning that the world is dangerously close to crossing the point of no return on the climate crisis, and urgent action is needed to avoid catastrophic consequences. They stated that the warming of the planet has caused irreversible changes to the climate, such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and more frequent and severe weather events.
The report highlights the need for immediate and drastic action to reduce carbon emissions and prevent further damage to the environment. It calls for a rapid transition to renewable energy, a shift to low-carbon transportation, and significant changes to agriculture and land use. The report also stresses the importance of carbon removal technologies and the need for large-scale carbon capture and storage.
Kaisa Kosonen, a climate expert at Greenpeace International, said: “This report is definitely a final warning on 1.5C. If governments just stay on their current policies, the remaining carbon budget will be used up before the next IPCC report [due in 2030].
