The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate report hurt our hearts.
We couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and frustrated with the pace of the world's response to climate change.
Whilst we find it less motivating, we don't think 'bad news' should ever be swept under the rug. After all, knowledge is power when used as a force for good.
The IPCC is the climate science body of the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organisation. They are the global experts that analyse the state of the climate and how human activities affect it. 234 scientists read 14000+ research papers to create the IPCC climate report. The process is vigorous, robust and transparent, producing the most comprehensive review of global scientific knowledge on climate change.
The earth has warmed 1.09℃ since pre-industrial times. A small number with a significant impact. According to the report, 1.09 means that sea-level rise and glacier melt are now virtually irreversible, and the escape from human-caused climate change is no longer possible. Climate change now affects every continent, region and ocean on earth. (we know this is overwhelming but stay with us...)
There's an awesome summary of the report on Ted.com. We tried our best to shorten it below for you:
Scientists express that taking action to significantly reduce emissions can still mitigate the worst impacts of climate change! So it's not time to lose hope, it's time to act.
Humans have caused this destruction, which also means we are capable of turning it around! Governments and businesses are the ones most capable of large scale changes, however, individuals still have an essential role in increasing the speed of action at higher levels.
Here are our five tips for making an impact at an individual level:
It's overwhelming, and we're not going to sugarcoat that. But we are the generations that can reverse the damage to achieve a healthier planet for our children and their future families!
COP26 (Conference of Parties) is the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference scheduled for the first 12 days of November 2021 in Glasgow. The IPCC report puts necessary pressure on governments to prioritise and increase emission reduction targets and actions leading up to the COP26.
