IPCC REPORT: WE CAN STILL AVOID CLIMATE DISASTER BUT WE *REALLY* NEED TO ACT NOW
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN GREEN ENERGY SOLUTIONS NEEDED TO GET US BACK ON TRACK,

Under the 2015 Paris climate agreement, 194 parties representing countries
around the world agreed to limit a global temperature increase to 1.5°C above
pre-industrial levels. By reducing carbon emissions and pursuing
environmentally-friendly energy solutions, the agreement stated we could stave
off the worst effects of climate change.
Eight years later, most countries have still not done enough to fulfill their
climate commitments, barreling us toward higher temperatures sooner than
expected. In the latest report released by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change’s (IPCC), published on Monday, the world’s leading climate
experts predict that the 1.5°C temperature rise is likely to take place around
“the first half of the 2030s.”
The IPCC report draws on information released in the panel’s six previous
publications, outlining the causes and effects of climate change, as well as
mitigation tactics. Published each year since 2018, the reports represent the
most comprehensive look at how global warming affects our environment.
Though nations have taken some steps to reduce their emissions in the past 10
years, no effort made so far is enough to prevent temperatures from reaching a
1.5°C rise by the end of the century. Currently, the Earth has already warmed
1.1°C since the industrial age, but an increase to 1.5°C would lead to even
deadlier consequences for our environment and populations.
At this temperature, the sea level is expected to rise by 10 to 30 inches,
putting 10 million more people at risk of coastal storms and flooding. Extreme
weather events will increase in frequency and intensity; flooding will force
millions of people to migrate away from coastal areas, while heatwaves and
droughts will lead to higher instances of food insecurity and malnutrition, as
staple crops won’t be able to withstand the high temperatures. A larger
percentage of the Earth’s population will experience climate-related illness and
death.
At today’s temperature, those living in low-income countries (LICs) are already
experiencing the worst effects of climate change compared to the rest of the
world, despite being the least responsible for causing climate change. How
global warming affects these populations in the future depends on whether
wealthier nations change course immediately.

The world’s biggest emitters — China, the United States, and India — contribute
42.6% of total greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. As this latest IPCC
report was being written, all three nations have continued to greenlight fossil
fuel projects that undermine their investment in green energy.
Still, the report lays out “multiple, feasible, and effective options” that are
currently available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help populations
adapt to climate change. These include increasing investment in solar, wind, and
electric energy, forest conservation and restoration, halting and reducing oil
and gas projects, and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through
existing and new technologies.
Enacting the report’s solutions requires significant investment — according to
current numbers, governments and companies would need to spend three to six
times the $600 billion they currently spend each year on clean energy. In
addition, UN Secretary-General António Guterres proposed a “Climate Solidarity
Pact,” under which wealthier nations would agree to finance climate solutions
for emerging economies.
“It will take a quantum leap in climate action,” Guterres said during a press
conference on Monday. “In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts —
everything, everywhere, all at once.”

Despite the IPCC report’s urgent tone, climate scientists have highlighted how
valuable current green energy projects have been to stave off outcomes that were
once predicted to be inevitable. Before the 2015 Paris agreement, experts
predicted the planet would experience a 3 - 4°C temperature rise before the end
of the century, a future that is now considered “unlikely” due to climate
mitigation efforts.
Even with the certainty of a temperature increase over the next decade, we still
have a chance to prevent the 1.5°C rise from taking place so soon. Only
increasing our focus on sustainable climate action will help us achieve our
goals — starting now.
Key decision-makers are currently meeting in Denmark (on March 20 and 21), at
the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial — the first political high-level meeting
following November's UN Climate Change Conference COP27. We're urging those at
the ministerial meeting to lay a path to a successful COP28 delivering on the
Paris agreement later this year, by supporting critical measures such as:
delivering the promised $100 billion per year in climate finance; phasing out
all fossil fuels; using solidarity taxes to unlock new financing to support the
fight against climate change; and more. Join our call by sending our tweet to
government ministers at the Copenhagen meetings.
You can also join Global Citizen around the world in urging world and business
leaders to listen to scientists’ warnings and take urgent and widespread climate
action NOW.

Group 13
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
At its current temperature, our planet is already experiencing extreme weather
events. At a 1.5°C temperature increase, the harsh physical realities of climate
change will be deadly for countless plants, animals, and people.
Group 13
WHAT CAN WE DO?
The latest IPCC report outlines specific and attainable ways government leaders
and companies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stave off the worst
consequences of climate change. Raise your voice with Global Citizens around the
world by demanding climate action now.
