The scientific consensus presented in the report adds pressure on the discussions on how to accelerate countries\u2019 action in line with the Paris Agreement 1.5\u00b0C warming limit \u2013 with new and revised 2030 commitments expected from leaders at the UN climate conference (COP26) in Glasgow this November.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
Greenpeace was an official observer to the IPCC and attended the virtual approval meeting of the IPCC WG1 report. The report does not address the impacts of climate change to humans, nor ways to mitigate climate change and its impacts, as those are topics that will be covered by the remaining three parts of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report, due to be finalised and published next year.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Commenting on the IPCC\u2019s WG1 report, Avinash Chanchal, Senior Climate Campaigner at Greenpeace India said:<\/p><\/p>\n\n \u201cIPCC reports have been telling us what is happening to the planet due to the human induced climate crisis. The report provides enough information about how human activities are causing climate change, making extreme climate events like heat waves, droughts, and heavy rainfall more frequent and severe. The warning is very clear \u2018unless there are immediate rapid and large scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming 1.5\u2019C will be beyond reach.\u2019 The report clearly shows the climate crisis is here, it’s rapidly getting worse and we are closer to a catastrophic tipping point than we thought. We have been saying that climate change and air pollution share the same solution and for the first time the report also acknowledges<\/a> the connection between climate change and air pollution.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n\n According to the assessment, it\u2019s evident that from a physical perspective, the target of 1.5\u00b0C <\/strong>is still within reach. The solutions are available however, it requires stronger action. The cheapest way to produce clean energy is available. Many cities are already making mobility beyond oil a reality. The government and corporations need to accelerate the global transition to 100% renewable energy in all sectors including electricity, transport and industry.<\/p><\/p>\n\n \u201cWhile ensuring 100% clean energy, we also need to protect the forest, ocean and other ecosystems. The upcoming climate summit is going to be a crucial moment for our world leaders where they can take a big and bold step to tackle climate change. In the summit the developed countries need to express solidarity to the global south by increasing the promised $100bn per year in climate finance to countries hardest hit by the climate crisis, as well as cancel all debts for the global south and honour international aid commitments,\u201d added Chanchal.<\/p><\/p>\n\n For any further queries:<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IPCC reports have been telling us what is happening to the planet due to the human induced climate crisis. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":11914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"not set","p4_local_project":"not set","p4_basket_name":"not set","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,23],"tags":[60],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-11913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clean-energy","category-environment","tag-air-pollution","p4-page-type-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11913"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19214,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913\/revisions\/19214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11913"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/india\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=11913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-india-stateless\/2021\/08\/4963b3a3-gp0stq2yz_web_size.jpg\")
