Unavoidable multiple climate hazards in next 2 decades, warns IPPC report

The United Nations on Monday released the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that stated that 3.6 billion people are highly vulnerable to climate change. The report identifying human-induced action as the prime cause of climate change stated that it is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world.

The report is the latest in a series by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) detailing the latest global consensus on climate science. This report, however, focuses on how nature and societies are being affected and what they can do to adapt.

People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. UN Secretary-general Antonio Guterres said, "I've seen many reports, but nothing like the new IPCC climate report, an atlas of human suffering & a damning indictment of failed climate leadership. I know people everywhere are anxious & angry. I am, too."
