The 2022 UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate change has been released, indicating that harmful carbon emissions from 2010-2019 have never been as higher in human history. The report states it is a proof that the world is on a \u201cfast track\u201d to disaster, and in the words of UN Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres it\u2019s \u2018now or never\u2019 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carbon Emissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main concern of the report is uncontrolled carbon emission and it warns unless governments everywhere reassess their energy policies, the world will be uninhabitable. The IPCC report calls all countries to must reduce their fossil fuel use substantially, extend access to electricity, improve energy efficiency and increase the use of alternative fuels, such as hydrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN chief further adds \u201cThis is not fiction or exaggeration. It is what science tells us will result from our current energy policies. We are on a pathway to global warming of more than double the 1.5-degree (Celsius, or 2.7-degrees Fahreinheit) limit\u201d that was agreed in Paris in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to the report high-emitting governments and corporations, were not just turning a blind eye, “they are adding fuel to the flames by continuing to invest in climate-choking industries. Scientists warn that we are already perilously close to tipping points that could lead to cascading and irreversible climate effects.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Urban Stake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The report primarily reveals that an increasing share of emissions can be attributed to towns and cities. It pens serious apprehensions that emissions reductions clawed back in the last decade or so \u201chave been less than emissions increases, from rising global activity levels in industry, energy supply, transport, agriculture and buildings\u201d. Among the sustainable and emissions-busting solutions that are available to governments, the IPCC report emphasised that rethinking how cities and other urban areas function in future could help significantly in mitigating the worst effects of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Global temperatures will stabilise when carbon dioxide emissions reach net zero. For 1.5C (2.7F), this means achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions globally in the early 2050s; for 2C (3.6\u00b0F), it is in the early 2070s, the IPCC report states. \u201cThese (reductions) can be achieved through lower energy consumption (such as by creating compact, walkable cities), electrification of transport in combination with low-emission energy sources, and enhanced carbon uptake and storage using nature,\u201d the report suggested. \u201cThere are options for established, rapidly growing and new cities,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recommended Measures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The IPCC working group 3 report has given following measure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Coal must be effectively phased out if the world is to stay within 1.5C, and currently planned new fossil fuel infrastructure would cause the world to exceed 1.5C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Methane emissions must be reduced by a third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Growing forests and preserving soils will be necessary, but tree-planting cannot do enough to compensate for continued emissions for fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Investment in the shift to a low-carbon world is about six times lower than it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 All sectors of the global economy, from energy and transport to buildings and food, must change dramatically and rapidly, and new technologies including hydrogen fuel and carbon capture and storage will be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
