What The Latest UN Report Says: COP27, the annual conference of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, is being held this year in Egypt. Delegates at the conference will have access to decades of research on climate change trajectories published by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The IPCC produces reports every five years that summarize the latest scientific consensus on climate change, its causes, and its impacts. Last year’s report addressed the main drivers of global warming and the core elements of climate science.
This year’s report is expected to build on that foundation and provide new insights into the potential consequences of climate change.
The COP27 conference will be an important opportunity for policymakers to learn about the latest scientific findings on climate change and to discuss ways to address this global challenge.
Last year’s report tackled the main drivers of global warming and the core elements of climate science. This was followed by two major reports this year – one in February addressing how the world will need to adapt to climate impacts, and another in April on ways to mitigate climate change.
The latest IPCC report, released in October, synthesizes all of the findings from these three reports. It is the most comprehensive assessment of climate change ever undertaken, and it paints a stark picture of the challenges we face in tackling this global problem.
The report makes it clear that we must take urgent action to slash greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid catastrophic levels of climate change.
It also highlights the immense benefits that would come from taking action, including improved public health, more resilient ecosystems, and greater economic prosperity. We urge all governments to take note of this latest report and to work together to take the bold actions needed to avert climate disaster.
