Sakshi Education

Even if greenhouse gas emissions are decreased, several disasters caused by climate change are likely to happen in the next two decades, according to a report compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
India will be severely impacted if emissions are not reduced, according to the second instalment of the IPCC report.
India will face effects due to food and water scarcity, heat reaching human survival limits, significant economic devastation, and rising sea levels if the emissions are not stopped.
The IPCC report also notified that over 3.5 billion people, or 45 percent of the global population, live in climate-vulnerable areas.
The report also stated that the ability to adapt by humans and natural ecosystems was being tested and increases in global warming will make it more difficult for them to adapt.
The recent IPCC report is the Sixth Assessment Report’s second part and focuses on hazards, impacts of climate change, and vulnerabilities, as well as ways to adapt to them. The first instalment, which was released in August 2021, focused on the scientific foundations of climate change. IPCC will release the third and last section of the report in April of this year.
In 1990, IPCC’s First Assessment Report was published. These reports give detailed evaluations of the state of the climate of the Earth, which are published by specialists after gathering all relevant data and analysing it.
