Hi everyone,

You've probably heard about the new IPCC report that was released earlier this year. In this post, we wanted to talk about what it is and how it could affect us. We haven't read the whole 3000+ page document, surprisingly, but people on the internet have so we have used information from reliable sources, including the IPCC website.

What is the IPCC?

IPCC stands for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It is governments and scientists from all over the world work together to produce reports about the effects of climate change.

When did that new report come out?

4th April 2022

What does the new report say and what does it mean for us?

The report states that average annual global greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels in human history between 2010 to 2019, but the rate of growth of emissions has since slowed. Emissions must peak by 2025 and then must fall drastically (43% by 2030) if we are to limit the damage caused by climate change. We need to limit fossil fuel use, which is nothing new, however, there is also an emphasis on investing in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

They said that it is "now or never" if we are to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. There have been decreases in the cost of renewable energy systems, which is a good sign, however, we are far from where we need to be.

The rate of increase is now 1.3% each year, whereas last decade it was around double that. So there is some good news. But will governments listen and take the necessary action? That we will find out in due course.

We know action has to happen before 2025, which is now in only 3 years. We will need to change a lot about the way we work before then.
Thank you so much for supporting us and we hope you have found this article useful.
