The Sixth UN Report Shows Scales Of Impacts Caused By Climate Change
A recent UN report showed the impacts of climate change which is going to be gravely dangerous considering the rising temperatures that are affecting every living species.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has summarized years of research in this study.
The world is approaching the limit of adapting to the changing climate, the report showed this with various examples. But the rapid actions can avoid the worst impacts though.
Like the Lockdown during COVID 19 defused the intensity. Or the actions that were taken as a precaution at the time of record rainfall in china.
This new assessment will be published in the future. And this is going to be the second publication of three major reports from the IPCC. The first one was released in November COP26 summit.
The IPCC conducts these large-scale reviews of the latest research on global warming every six to seven years on behalf of governments. And this latest three-set assessment is their sixth assessment report.
Researchers are divided into three working groups, which are basic science, the scale of the impacts, and the options for resolving and tackling various problems.
The scientists working on the report, under the IPCC supervision, have volunteered for this work, review, and write up thousands of papers to summarize all the recent findings on this topic.
The general idea of this agreement is to have these volunteered scientists meet with various government officials to go through their findings line by line. A forty paged summary of their research was published this Monday.
In these reports, they have focused on various regions and cities. From several urban areas to developing countries, the report has highlighted various places that dealt with this grave problem.
They have also stated that in future the humankind is going to be facing rather various short-term problems or threats.
Mark Watts, the executive director of the C40 group said, ‘It is always immediate that takes precedence. So if you’ve got to deal with a big influx of migrants or a massive flood event, that’s where the focus is going to be’.
There’s a network of around 100 major cities that have collaborated to deal with these climate changes.
He continued, ‘In the global south, there really aren’t any city climate program funds at the moment. Of those that exist, almost none of them are about adaptation.’
‘They’re all trying to get poor countries that have relatively low emissions, to reduce their emissions further, not about adapting to the impacts that they’re already feeling,’ he added.
The report will also provide various pieces of information about some technical solutions to these climate changes. Though, these are very unlikely to work on solar radiation and carbon dioxide increasing rates in the atmosphere.
Overall it will bring to notice a broader focus on facts and figures than just the science showing cause and effects of climate change due to global warming.
Mark concluded by saying, ‘This is about the impacts on people and nature, the risks they face and the limits to adaptation as well.’
