The body autonomous body body of the UN responsible for on climate climate issues has published the third part of its report on the climate emergency.<br />The observation is alarming: global warming has already already irreversible impacts.<br />But all is not lost: the IPCC proposes solutions to slow down global warming, but these must be be put in place very quickly.<br />What are the main points of this new report? <br />- Greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by at least 50% by 2030<br />- The use of coal must be completely stopped by 2050<br />- The use of oil and gas must decrease by at least 70% by 2050<br />- Renewable energies must be developed<br />- Financing must be increased (to reach a budget 3 to 6 times higher than at present) to limit warming to +35.6°F<br />- Financing must be increased (to reach a budget 3 to 6 times higher than at present) to limit warming to +35.6°F<br />- Additional efforts are expected on transportation (promote electric vehicles and public transportation, limit the use of the car, choosing the train over the plane...)<br />- Lifestyles and consumption and production habits must be changed (circular economy, better waste management and recycling of materials...)<br />- We must rely on new technologies to eliminate CO2 emissions<br />Greenhouse gas emissions have never been so high.<br />Only 24 countries have managed to reduce their emissions, but their efforts have been offset by the growth of emissions in the rest of the world. <br />The report denounces the failure of political leaders in the fight against climate change and sounds the alarm: they must become aware of the climate emergency in order to put in place appropriate policies.
