The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued a Special Report on the Impacts of Global Warming of 1.5\u00b0C, concluding that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C will require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society, the panel said in a new assessment. With clear benefits for people and natural ecosystems, the report finds that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C compared to 2\u00b0C can go hand in hand with ensuring a more sustainable and just society. While previous estimates focused on estimating the damage if the average temperature increased by 2 degrees Celsius<\/p>\n\n\n\n
effects of climate change<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report highlights a number of climate change impacts that could be avoided by limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C compared to 2\u00b0C or more. For example, by the year 2100, global sea level rise will be 10 cm lower with a 1.5\u00b0C warming compared to 2\u00b0C. The probability of an Arctic ocean free of summer sea ice would be once per century with a 1.5\u00b0C warming, compared with at least once per decade with 2\u00b0C. Coral reefs will decline by 70-90% with a 1.5\u00b0C warming, while almost all (99%) will be lost with a 2\u00b0C rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report concludes that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C requires “rapid and far-reaching” shifts in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport and cities. Global net emissions of carbon dioxide emissions must fall by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching \u201cnet zero\u201d around 2050. This means that any remaining emissions must be offset by removing carbon dioxide from the air .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
