To read WRI's summary of the 2023 IPCC report, visit this article. The newest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a troubling picture: Climate change is already impacting every corner of the world, and much more severe impacts are in store if we fail to halve greenhouse gas emissions this decade and immediately scale up adaptation.
Harvard professor Robert Stavins (pictured) electrified the worldwide debate on climate change by publishing a letter in which he spelled out the interference.
What are the key takeaways from the IPCC new study on the science of climate change?
It is under pressure from humans and climate change, but it is part of the solution
The latest IPCC report details the devastating consequences of climate change and highlights pathways to avoid dangerous and irreversible risks from rising greenhouse gas emissions.
This is -- finally and for real -- the last installment of the report. Here's what it says in a nutshell.
The report provides world leaders with a gold standard summation of modern climate science ahead of U.N. climate talks, known as COP26, in early November.

Heating from humans has caused irreparable damage to the Earth that may get worse in coming decades.
The UN IPCC climate report found that unless global warming is halted, billions of people and species could reach critical tipping points.
Climate change is affecting everyone around the world and it comes with a price. Here's a look at just some of the costs that are already hitting Canadians and forecast to get worse. The good news is impacts aren't as bad if emissions are cut rapidly, the IPCC said.

Textiles IPCC report highlights multiple ways to slash global GHG emissions 22 Mar '23 3 min read Pic: Shutterstock/ EcoSpace There are multiple feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.In 2018, IPCC highlighted the unprecedented scale of the challenge required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Five years later, that challenge has become even greater due to a continued increase in GHG gas emissions. The pace and scale of what has been done so far, and current plans, are insufficient to tackle climate change, IPCC said in a press release.“Mainstreaming effective and equitable climate action will not only reduce losses and damages for nature and people, it will also provide wider benefits,” said IPCC chair Hoesung Lee. “This Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action and shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.”The latest IPCC report warns that the pace and scale of climate action is insufficient to tackle global warming. Accelerated action is essential to adapt to climate change and reduce greenhouse emissions to limit warming to 1.5°C. Increasing finance to climate investments and reducing barriers is essential to achieve global climate goals.More than a century of burning fossil fuels as well as unequal and unsustainable energy and land use has led to global warming of 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels. This has resulted in more frequent and more intense extreme weather events that have caused increasingly dangerous impacts on nature and people in every region of the world.In this decade, accelerated action to adapt to climate change is essential to close the gap between existing adaptation and what is needed. Meanwhile, keeping warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels requires deep, rapid, and sustained GHG emissions reductions in all sectors. Emissions should be decreasing by now and will need to be cut by almost half by 2030, if warming is to be limited to 1.5°C.The solution lies in climate resilient development. This involves integrating measures to adapt to climate change with actions to reduce or avoid GHG emissions in ways that provide wider benefits.For example, access to clean energy and technologies improves health, especially for women and children; low-carbon electrification, walking, cycling, and public transport enhance air quality, improve health, employment opportunities, and deliver equity. The economic benefits for people’s health from air quality improvements alone would be roughly the same, or possibly even larger than the costs of reducing or avoiding emissions.The IPCC reports suggested that increasing finance to climate investments is important to achieve global climate goals. Governments, through public funding and clear signals to investors, are key in reducing these barriers. Investors, central banks, and financial regulators can also play their part. Effective and equitable conservation of approximately 30-50 per cent of the Earth’s land, freshwater, and ocean will help ensure a healthy planet.

Global temperatures are projected to reach an increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius far ahead of early expectations of around 2050, breaching this limit around 2030 according to IPCC reports. The world is, and should be, undergoing a net-zero transformation, and banking will be a vital part in delivering this success as we seek to tackle growing carbon emissions.
