The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the scientific body of the United Nations, issued a “final warning” on the climate crisis.

In its Sixth Assessment Report, prepared by hundreds of scientists, eight years of research and thousands of pages, the UN panel summarised its findings in one message: act now or it will be too late.

The IPCC study detailed how extreme weather has destroyed vast swathes of the world and led to deaths, wrecked homes, floods, droughts, hunger, and the loss of vital ecosystems.

The point of no return for the climate’s damage is if the thermometer reaches over 1.5°C higher than pre-industrial levels, so this IPCC report could be the last one if we don’t step up in limiting global temperatures.

Antonio Guterres, the United Nations Secretary General, said that the report is “a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country, every sector, and on every timeframe.”

“Our world needs climate action on all fronts: everything, everywhere, all at once.”
