“The scientific evidence is unequivocal that if humanity continues along its current path, it is likely that, by 2100, global average temperatures will rise by between 2.7°C and 3.6°C. A rise of 4°C could lead to a cost of as much as $31trn (€29trn) per year in 2100… apart from the costs of loss of life and destruction of habitats.”

It reaffirms that anthropogenic climate change is real, present and lasting: it is now unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land to an unprecedented degree, with effects almost certain to worsen through the coming decades.” With this report, the IPCC “dispels any notion that the effects of the climate crisis are abstract or distant.”
