Top officials and leading climate scientists from the United Nations renewed their call for strong political commitments and urgent climate action, as they echoed a warning over the rapidly closing window to address catastrophic climate change.

Climate activists participate in a 12-kilometer bike ride that 'calls on governments and corporations to step up climate change action to save the planet from climate catastrophe' on Sunday, April 24, 2022, from Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City to Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.

“The report identifies tried and tested policies that can work in diverse contexts to reduce emissions and advance climate resilience,” said Lee. “But they need to be scaled up and applied more widely.” Findings show the world has already warmed more than 1.1C. Without drastic emission cuts from all nations, the planet could be on track to more dangerous levels of warming, which would translate to more extreme climate impacts that would push humanity to the brink.

These would also have other benefits to other sectors and systems, not just on climate action. For instance, the promotion of public transport and active mobility, such as walking and cycling, could also benefit public health and safety. Rachel Herrera, a commissioner of the Climate Change Commission who joined the Philippine delegation in the IPCC session, said the latest report will “provide the impetus for urgent climate action” in the Philippines.
