About the key findings and suggestions of the IPCC AR6\u00a0synthesis\u00a0report<\/strong><\/h2>\n

World on the threshold of carbon budget<\/strong>: The IPCC report points out that humanity had already consumed 4\/5ths of its total carbon budget for 1.5\u00b0 C by 2019, with developed economies consuming the lion\u2019s share.<\/p>\n

Some losses and damages of climate change are inevitable<\/strong>: The report finds that some coastal and polar ecosystems have already reached hard limits in their ability to adapt to a changing\u00a0climate.<\/p>\n

Cautions against maladaptation<\/strong>: The report cautions against certain forms of adaptation such as poorly planned seawalls which can defer and intensify the impacts of climate for short-term and often iniquitous adaptation gains.<\/p>\n

Co-\u00adbenefits of climate action for air quality<\/strong>: A cost \u00adbenefit analysis suggests that the air quality and health benefits of mitigation outweigh its costs.<\/p>\n

Evidence of progress<\/strong>: The report finds some tangible evidence of progress in the proliferation of laws and policies, and confirms the effectiveness of existing policy tools such as regulations and carbon markets.<\/p>\n

What are the concerns highlighted by the IPCC AR6 synthesis report?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

a)<\/strong> There are\u00a0gaps between modelled sustainable pathways and countries’ climate pledges, b)<\/strong> Delayed action from countries risks the creation of high carbon infrastructure in this decade, and creating stranded assets and financial instability in the medium term, c)<\/strong> Despite sufficient global capital, both adaptation and mitigation financing need to increase many\u00adfold.<\/p>\n

The IPCC AR6 synthesis report is a landmark report because it offers a blueprint for sustainable development. t is now up to governments and the people of the world\u00a0to\u00a0act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
