Here are some key takeaways from the latest report from UN scientists on how to limit climate warming.
The dangers of climate change have been well reported for years. But what's had less attention is how the world could effectively tackle the issue,that they believe could help people avoid the worst impacts of rising temperatures.
Keeping the world under 1.5C requires emissions to peak by 2025, the researchers say, and shrink by 43% by the end of this decade. So for the temperature of the planet , the IPCC believes that coal should finally be retired for good. But as the climate crisis has escalated and cutting carbon emissions has proven difficult, researchers have been forced to look again at the role of technology in both limiting and reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.An air capture planet in Iceland pulls in CO2 from the atmosphere which is then turned into rock has now gone fully mainstream with the endorsement of the IPCC in this latest report.
"I would have hoped that the report would have put forward the most reliable kind of safe pathways towards 1.5C without an overshoot and reliance on technologies that we just don't know if they will work."One of the big differences with this report from previous releases is that social science features heavily.
That's a huge goal but the report is quite specific and detailed - and yes it will take incentives and nudges from governments.Tackling climate change has often been delayed due to the perceived high-cost implications.Now the IPCC are weighing in with some new guidance on the costs.Right now, the IPCC says there is far too much money still flowing towards fossil fuels and not to clean energy climate solutions.
