Climate change is having dangerous impacts on nature and people in every region of the world. There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has a historic opportunity in the next three months to put the global shipping industry on an equitable, 1.5°C-aligned decarbonisation pathway, highlighted a group of NGOs, pushing IMO to take decisive actions towards shipping emissions cuts during the Intersessional Working Group on Greenhouse Gases (ISWG-GHG-14) that takes place 20 to 24 March 2023.

During COP 27 in Egypt, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The two parties agreed to exchange knowledge and collaborate on initiatives to accelerate widespread renewable energy adoption to mitigate climate change.

Key industry associations jointly released a glossary on climate change definitions in relation to shipping in an effort to clarify associated terminology and ensure that the discussions around climate change and potential solutions for the shipping industry are based on a mutual understanding of what the commonly used terms mean.

The most recent IPCC report on climate change takes a look on the near and long term risks that the continuous deterioration of the planet's climate could cause.

According to the latest Working Group III report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach.

Many of the climate changes observed on Earth are unprecedented in thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years, according to the latest IPCC Report.

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report highlights the urgency to prioritize timely, ambitious and coordinated action to address unprecedented and enduring changes in the ocean and cryosphere. The report also reveals the benefits of ambitious and effective adaptation for sustainable development and the increasing costs and risks of delayed action.

The world’s oceans are likely to become more acidic than at any time in the past 14 million years, according to a new research led by UK's Cardiff University. Under a ‘business-as-usual’ future scenario where we continue to emit same CO2 as today, atmospheric CO2 would be near 930 parts per million in 2100.
