Climate Scientists and UN Warn of Urgent Need for Action to Save Humanity from Climate Crisis

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a "survival guide for humanity" in the form of a landmark report that calls for urgent action to tackle the climate emergency. The report warns that current plans are insufficient to prevent the worst of what the crisis has in store and that deep, rapid, and sustained greenhouse gas emission reductions across all sectors are necessary to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The report also highlights the losses and damages the world is already experiencing and will likely continue to face in the absence of effective climate action.
