Climate change presents a grave and mounting threat to human wellbeing and a healthy planet, finds the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) latest Climate Report. 

Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability emphasises the need for urgent action, noting how actions today will shape how people adapt and nature responds to increasing climate risks.

The report provides insights into nature’s potential not only to reduce climate risks but also to improve people’s lives, highlighting how safeguarding and strengthening nature will be key to securing a liveable future. It also presents a detailed assessment of climate change impacts, risks and adaptation in cities. 

The report states that Climate Resilient Development is already challenging at current warming levels, suggesting that there is a narrowing window for action. This key finding underlines the report’s emphasis on the urgency for climate action, focusing on equity and justice.
