The new UN report will send a clear message on the state of the climate crisis, thereby increasing the pressure on governments at the 26th meeting of the important Conference of the Parties in the fall.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report is scheduled to be released at 9 am on Monday and is the first part of a review of current scientific knowledge about how the world is warming due to human activities.
This is the first such global assessment since 2013. At that time, scientists found that global warming was “unambiguous” and that the human impact on the climate is obvious. Most of the warming since the 1950s is likely to be attributed to humans. Activity.
The information in the latest report is expected to be even stronger, warning that global temperatures may soon rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels-due to the dangerous consequences for humans, countries have pledged to avoid violating this limit as much as possible.
The review uses more than 14,000 scientific papers to provide up-to-date knowledge on past and future potential warming, how humans can change the climate, and how the climate can increase extreme weather events and drive sea level rise.
A summary report was released after approval. The process involved scientists and 195 government representatives. The process was conducted online in the past two weeks.
This means that the government has signed the findings-they will face pressure to take more action in the global climate negotiations called Cop26. Glasgow November.
This report will bring a lot of bad news about where we are and where we are going, but there will be some optimism in it, which I think is very beneficial to climate change negotiations.
Professor Pierce Foster, from University of Leeds – A scientist involved in the process said: “This report will be able to explain more about the extreme situations we are experiencing today, and it will be able to clearly point out that our greenhouse gas emissions are causing them to become worse.”
He told LBC Radio: “The report will bring a lot of bad news about where we are and where we are going, but there will be some optimism there, which I think is very beneficial for climate change negotiations.
“The first one is that if we can really work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the net zero goal that everyone is talking about within the next 10 years, then we are likely to try and keep the temperature at a long-term 1.5 degrees or less.”
The report released on Monday is the first part of the sixth global climate science assessment since the establishment of the IPCC in 1988.
It focuses on the physical sciences of climate change, and more of the reviews will be published in 2022, including solutions to impact and adapt to climate change and crises.
The report comes as global temperatures have climbed to 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and increasingly extreme weather — from record heat waves and wildfires to downpours and devastating floods — has hit countries around the world.
Although the specter of climate change is getting worse, the government has not taken enough action to solve the problem of greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels for heating, transportation, and power supply to curb the temperature rise.
Patricia Espinosa, head of climate affairs at the United Nations, warned that many countries have not yet proposed a new emission reduction action plan-which is a key part of what they need to do before the Cop26 climate summit-and Those countries that have not done enough.
On a global scale, actions committed to addressing the rising temperature of emissions are not enough to limit warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, let alone a stricter 1.5 degrees Celsius target.
A special report from the IPCC in 2018 warned that exceeding the 1.5C limit would mean more extreme weather, greater sea level rise, and damage to crops, wildlife, and health.
Controlling up to 1.5C will require reducing carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and reducing carbon emissions to zero overall by 2050. There will be major changes in transportation, how we heat and power our homes, industry and agriculture, it said.
Last weekend, the chairman of COP26 Alok Sharma If emissions cannot be controlled, mankind will face a huge threat.
In the interview guardian He said: “Every day you see what is happening around the world. Last year was the hottest year on record, and the past ten years was the hottest decade on record.”
He warned that the world is “dangerously approaching” the time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adding: “I think we don’t have time, but I think we are dangerously close to a time when we may not have time.”
Mr. Sharma said: “Every part of the increase in degrees will have an impact, which is why countries must act immediately.”
“We have seen the impact all over the world-in the UK, or the terrible floods we have seen in Europe and China, or forest fires, the record temperatures we have seen North America ” He says.
“Every day you see new highs being set in some way around the world.”
