Scientists outlined the risks of climate inaction ahead of a major IPCC report later this month
Some parts of the planet are approaching the limits of their ability to adapt to climate change, scientists warned yesterday ahead of a major U.N. report being released later this month.
It’s the second of four reports being written by the IPCC over a seven-year cycle, and it will examine, in part, what the impacts of climate change mean for people’s lives, now and in the future, said Debra Roberts, co-chair of the IPCC Working Group II. “I think people are waiting for the ‘So what?’” Roberts said in a briefing with reporters yesterday. They’ll find it in a report that she said will “lift the curtain” on how people interact with one another and with nature.
It will also highlight how tightly human systems are intertwined with nature. And it will look at where people and ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of rising temperatures and how adaptation can help reduce the risks they face. It will have a strong regional focus, since people tend to respond to stories that come from places they know, said Roberts.
