Things will become a lot worse before they get better: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The latest IPCC report warns of devastating consequences from past and present emissions, stating that the 1.5 deg C threshold for rise in temperature will be breached by the year 2040. However, the report also says that things will become a lot worse before they get better. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains what the report outlines and what it asks countries to do.

How to Understand the IPCC's Figure SPM.1

Image
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and potential future risks, and possible response options. The IPCC produces comprehensive Assessment Reports every six to seven years, as well as Special Reports on specific topics. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is the latest and most comprehensive assessment of the state of knowledge on climate change. The AR6 consists of three Working Group reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR), which integrates the findings of the Working Group reports and the Special Reports. The SYR is written in a non-technical style suitable for policymakers and addresses a broad range of policy-relevant but policy-neutral questions. The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the SYR provides a concise overview of the key messages and findings of the SYR. One of the most important figures in the SPM is Figure SPM.1, which shows how human activities have affected ...
