 ~Preet. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations' climate scientific authority, has issued the third part of its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). The second half of the study, which included climate change consequences, risks and vulnerabilities, and adaptation strategies, was released in March 2022. The first section of this study, which covered the physical science of climate change, was released in 2021. It has previously cautioned that 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming was likely to be attained by 2040.  Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 59 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) in 2019, up 54% from 1990. The term "net emissions" refers to emissions that are accounted for after subtracting emissions absorbed by the world's forests and seas. Anthropogenic emissions are those that result from human-caused activities such as coal combustion for energy or forest harvesting. This increase in emissions has

All about IPCC latest report. ~Preet The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just issued the second instalment of its sixth assessment report. The second section of the paper discusses the effects of climate change, risks and vulnerabilities, and adaptation strategies. In 2021, the first half of this report, on the physical science of climate change. It has previously cautioned that 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming was likely to be attained by 2040. The third and last section of the report, which will investigate emission-cutting options, is scheduled to be released in April 2022. Noting that over 3.5 billion people, or more than 45 percent of the world population, live in climate-vulnerable areas. According to the research, India is one of the most susceptible areas, with multiple regions and major cities at high risk of climate calamities such as flooding, sea-level rise, and heat waves. Mumbai, for example, is at high risk of sea-level rise and flooding, but Ahmedabad is
