Two Year 10 students from the Climate Council, Anna and Sarah, have written a great explainer on the recent IPCC report, with some terrific suggestions to help us all reduce our impact on the climate.
The IPCC report is the most comprehensive climate report ever released - produced by the world’s most authoritative body on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
It details the current climate crisis and what our future might look like, compiled together from research by scientists across the globe. Currently the report is the physical science basis. The next two parts, on the human impacts and how to respond, are coming in 2022.
Here is a summary of the IPCC report’s most important points:
Although there is only a very low chance that global temperature will not rise to more than 1.5° C by the end of the century, it is still possible if changes are made right now. Every fraction of a degree of warming avoided, every push for cleaner air and water will reduce the number of people and areas impacted.
Social scientists have discovered that once one person makes a sustainability-oriented decision, other people will follow suit. You can make a difference!
