You’ve likely heard of the latest IPCC Report dropping. It’s the final piece of the 6th Assessment report, and is essentially a summary of sorts of the previous pieces of this 6th Assessment cycle, laid bare in what has been dubbed a ‘how to guide’ on saving the planet from the climate crisis. They’ve taken over 8,500 pages in total and produced a much more concise document called the Synthesis Report, which has then been further boiled down to a Summary for Policy Makers (SPM), of which there’s a shorter version and a longer one. After a lengthy process of to-ing and fro-ing, this work has been signed off and endorsed by 195 countries – no small feat!
Here is a super helpful, easy to digest, balanced synopsis of the SPM.
The key things to note:
* We've done an okay job at limiting emissions through current policies. Not great, but okay;
* If we don't start doing better--NOW--things are going to get awfully uncomfortable and actually quite dire and filled with misery and death;
* We already have much of what we need to be able to rapidly reduce emissions!
* Its. Not. Too Late!!
* Every ton of CO2 we keep out of the atmosphere will mean an incremental increase in temperature can be AVOIDED.
