IPCC WARNS OF IMMEDIATE AND GROWING THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE, COMPANIES AND
INVESTORS MUST ACT DECISIVELY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MEDIA CONTACT: Stefanie Spear, sspear@asyousow.org, 216-387-1609

BERKELEY, CA—FEB. 28, 2022—Today, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) released the second contribution of its Sixth Assessment Report. The
report concludes the impact of climate change is intensifying so rapidly that it
is endangering nature and society’s capacity to adapt. It confirms the effects
of the climate crisis are already being felt and have been much more widespread
and negative than expected. An estimated 3.6 billion people are living in areas
highly vulnerable to impacts. 

The IPCC stresses that near-term actions to limit global warming to 1.5°C are
critical to reducing and avoiding projected damages; risks will be several times
greater if temperatures are to rise 2°C. Current global climate commitments are
on track for more than 2°C of warming while global temperatures have already
increased by an average of 1.1°C.

“The IPCC is clear on the rapidly escalating risks of increased global
temperature,” said Danielle Fugere, president of As You Sow. “Now is the time
for transformational efforts from companies — from 1.5°C aligned target setting
to comprehensive transition plans, actual near-term emissions reductions, and
support for ambitious climate policy. Without effort at the scale that climate
change merits, the global economy and investor interests will be gravely
impacted.”

The third contribution of the Sixth Assessment cycle will be released in April.
This contribution will provide detail on climate change mitigation and pathways
to reduce emissions to reach the targets laid out by the Paris Agreement.
