IPCC Report

If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists. The carbon budget refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide the planet can emit while still having a good chance of staying below a certain temperature threshold. In this case, the limit is 1.5 degrees Celsius, which countries agreed to at the Paris climate conference in 2015. Exceeding the carbon budget does not mean the 1.5-degree limit will be crossed immediately. It means the world is on course to surpass it very soon unless emissions are drastically cut. The latest "Indicators of Global Climate Change" study, published in the journal Earth System Science Data, also found that the carbon budget for 2 degrees Celsius could be exceeded by 2048 if current levels of CO2 emissions continue. Scientists said human activities have led to the release of

India is the centre of global climate investment but it needs to distribute finances equally to adaptation along with mitigation efforts in the clean energy space

To safeguard against the inevitable climate hazards, the IPCC has laid emphasis on 'climate resilient development'

The world is very likely to miss the most important climate target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels but drastic and urgent action in this decade can prevent it, a UN panel on climate change said in a report on Monday. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Synthesis Report is a summary of all the reports it produced since 2015 on the reasons and consequences of global temperature rise due to anthropogenic emissions. Releasing the report, the body of the world's leading climate scientists said keeping warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels requires deep, rapid and sustained greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors. "The Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action and shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all," IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee said. Approved during a week-long session in Interlaken, Switzerland, the report .

India needs institutions to address concerns

According to the report, to achieve the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, the world must reduce annual carbon dioxide emission by 48 per cent by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) can help counterbalance "hard-to-abate" residual emissions to help reach net zero CO2 or net zero GHG emissions in the mid-term

A newly published report by a UN agency has warned that China will be among the countries hardest hit by global warming.According to a report published by UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), China needs to do more to adapt to mounting climate hazards.It will need to find solutions to water and food insecurity, poverty and inequality, and more extreme weather events, online magazine Sixth Tone reported.The report said that China could suffer the world's biggest economic losses as a result of rising sea levels and the resulting floods.A study in the report estimates that China's food security will also be threatened, as a warming climate is expected to affect yields of wheat, maize, rice, and fish.Luo Yong, professor of earth science at Tsinghua University and a lead author of the report's Asia chapter, said the report offers a clear look at the dangers humanity faces over the coming two decades as well as by the end of the century."Our main takeaway is that it is very .

IPCC's climate change report calls for mitigation and adaptation

The IPCC report 2022 released on Monday warned that if emissions are not cut rapidly, heat and humidity will create conditions beyond human tolerance. Its economic impact could also be as devastating

It also reconfirms for various stakeholders, including governments and the private sector, that 'the time to act is now'

This report is a dire warning about the consequences of inaction, said Hoesung Lee, Chair of the IPCC while releasing the report Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
