IPCC Releases Policymakers' Report on Physical Science of Climate Change
Unprecedented Global Warming Triggered by Human Activities
Critical Information for Mitigation Efforts and Policy Development
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released the Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change, incorporating thousands of the most recent scientific studies.
The report's findings are unequivocal: human activities have undoubtedly caused the unprecedented warming of the earth's atmosphere, ocean, and land since the 19th century. This warming has widespread and substantial impacts on ecosystems worldwide, including extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss.
The report highlights the crucial need for immediate and ambitious mitigation efforts to limit global warming and avoid the most severe impacts of climate change. It outlines policy-neutral pathways that policymakers can consider to reduce greenhouse gases and promote sustainable development.
The Summary for Policymakers is a vital resource for policymakers, decision-makers, and all stakeholders involved in addressing climate change. It provides evidence-based information to guide mitigation and adaptation strategies and inform policy development at local, national, and international levels.
The full report, "Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis," is available on the IPCC website. The IPCC will continue to provide regular assessments of climate science, offering policymakers and the public the latest scientific findings to inform decision-making.
