Unpacking the IPCC Report: Climate Change and the Way Forward

On February 28, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will publish its report on the impacts of climate breakdown and ongoing adaptation efforts.

This highly anticipated report will inform negotiations at COP27, which will focus heavily on climate justice, climate finance, adaptation, and loss and damage.

Join Carnegie Europe for a discussion on the report’s main findings and its implications for climate security, climate negotiations, and the future of transitions across the globe. The conversation will feature François Gemenne, one of the lead authors of the IPCC report, and Olivia Lazard.

This was very informative, thank you. There were so many good thoughts and ideas in the summary at the end that I went back and listened 3 times. I've thought the devastation going on in Ukraine was somehow related to energy, but the statement that if we could go back 20 years and implement adaptation and mitigation measures, we would not be in this predicament just instantly crystallized my thoughts that this is the path we must take, even if it is 20-30 years too late. The idea that geopolitics and climate change are one and the same, opened my eyes in a way I had not seen before. Decarbonization is the path to ecological and international stability, bases on a human rights based approach. Unfortunately, I don't see how power can be taken away from dictatorial leaders, like Putin and others, and fossil fuel and other corporations in peaceful ways. I do not see them giving up their privilege for the sake of the rest of humanity. Somewhere in there, we have to find the ability to share the abundance of Earth's bounty in a way that protects all life on Earth. I wish your video had a billion views instead of a thousand. Thank you, again for sharing.

It's basically hopeless. There are too many people, but it's taboo to say it. 8 billion should be closer to 2 billion. They like to talk about indigenous knowledge, but indigenous people knew to not overpopulate their land because they would die. We don't seem to have that understanding now, but soon we will.

Thank you for this. This makes me so hopeful.

The Earth is cooler with the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer.
To perform as advertised the GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body.
The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible.
No greenhouse effect, no GHG warming, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.
