According to the research, clean energy and technology may be used to stop the escalating global calamity.
Climate experts cautioned that a significant global temperature target is likely to be missed during a meeting they held in Switzerland to discuss their findings.
The worst effects of climate change can be avoided by making rapid reduction in fossil fuel use, according to her analysis.
As a result of the findings, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recommends that all nations move their objectives toward net zero up by ten years. These goals are designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the atmosphere of our planet quickly.
The research stated that there is a “rapidly shrinking window of opportunity” to guarantee a sustainable and livable future for everyone.
Previously, governments had pledged to take action to prevent a rise in global temperatures of more than 1.5°C. But the world has already warmed by 1.1°C, and now experts say it will likely exceed 1.5°C by the 2030s.
All participating states concur with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the scientific body advising the UN on rising temperatures.
Their latest research intends to compile into one compact volume various significant discoveries made about the causes, effects, and remedies of climate change since 2018.
The article describes the major effects that climate change has already had on the planet and argues that these effects will only get worse.
Extreme coastal flooding, which once occurred only once every century, is predicted to happen annually at least at half of the world’s tide gauge locations by the year 2100, where sea level observations are taken.The atmosphere’s CO2 concentrations are at their greatest point in two million years. The planet is currently warmer than it has ever been in the past 125,000 years, and in the coming decade, it is projected to get considerably warmer.
The analysis stated that even in the very low greenhouse gas scenario, short-term global warming will still approach 1.5°C.
As Dr. Friederike Otto of Imperial College, a member of the core writing team for this report, told BBC News, “if we aim for 1.5°C and get to 1.6°C, that’s still a lot better than saying it’s too late and we’re doomed and I’m not even trying.
