Climate report reveals 'atlas of human suffering'
The world's top climate experts sounded the alarm over the consequences of inaction in an exhaustive new report that details the hell of a warming world.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Program, IPCC provides governments and U.N.-led summits with scientific information they can use to form climate policies.

The world's top climate experts sounded the alarm over the consequences of inaction in an exhaustive new report that details the hell of a warming world.
A panel of the world's top climate scientists began putting the final touches on their latest comprehensive look at how global warming affects the planet.
Governments must be far more ambitious about cutting greenhouse gases to avoid catastrophically overheating the planet, according to a new U.N. report.
The U.N. chief called a major new report on human-caused global warming ‘a code red for humanity’ though a brief window exists to avoid the worst.
The planet's massive losses of species and rising temperatures are driven by human activities that must be tackled together, two organizations reported.
Old-growth tropical forest losses rose 12% in 2020 accelerated by commerce and climate-related factors, according to Global Forest Watch.
While one-in-10 people on the planet suffers chronic hunger, the world wastes about 17% of all the food that is produced each year, UNEP reported.
The world's promised cuts in greenhouse gases come nowhere close to fulfilling the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to a new U.N. analysis.
WMO reported that global warming has made it 70% likely one or more months between 2020 and 2024 will exceed a Paris Agreement limit.
In a podcast, Greta Thunberg invokes a 183-year-old tale that captures the thinking needed to solve the climate crisis.
U.S. President Donald Trump and 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg seemed to be talking about two entirely different planets at WEF in Davos.
A new U.N. report cautions the world must begin cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 7.6% a year starting in 2020 to meet global targets.
More than 11,000 scientists warned the world must immediately and fundamentally change if it is going to avert "untold suffering due to the climate crisis."
The agreement aims to limit heat-trapping black carbon emissions that accelerate melting of glaciers and sea ice.
Almost 1 meter of sea level rise and the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is anticipated by the end of the century.
A day before a U.N. summit, climate scientists said nations must reduce 'glaring' gaps between intention and action.
