A new UN report will send a clear message on the state of the climate crisis, thereby increasing the pressure on governments to convene 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.
Target
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 governments have signed the results of the survey-they will face pressure to take more action in the global climate negotiations called Cop26 in Glasgow in November.
Professor Piers Forster from the University of Leeds was one of the scientists involved in the process. He said: “This report will be able to explain more about the extreme situations we are experiencing today, and it will be able to clearly show that our emissions of greenhouse gases are causing them. , And they will get 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.”
Emissions
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.
