Cutting greenhouse gas emissions rapidly and immediately will save lives, livelihoods and ecosystems around the world, scientists say. And there are lots of ways to go about it.
Over the last two years, hundreds of scientists working for the U.N's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have published 3 sprawling reports that highlighted the disproportionate effects of climate change on poor people, the need to cut emissions rapidly and the policy options available for doing so. Each of those documents ran hundreds of pages long.
The hope is that the new report will serve as a shared scientific foundation for those negotiations, as well as a menu of solutions available to world leaders. "Investments in reducing emissions are investments in improving people's health and education and economic opportunities, and protecting the people we care about," he explains.The other big takeaway from the report is that people in developing countries, and poor people around the world, are disproportionately affected by climate change.
