The past six years have been the hottest on record in 150 years and the rise in sea level amounts to nearly 4 millimetres a year. All these events were predicted in previous reports by the IPCC.
According to the report, the planet’s temperature should increase by 1.5°C from 2030, with the consequences set to be "irreversible for centuries or millennia". Human activity is deemed as “unequivocally” responsible for global warming, which causes "rapid changes in the atmosphere, the oceans, the cryosphere and the biosphere".
Based on this analysis, it’s crucial to make drastic changes to our behaviour at every level: individuals, companies, institutions and governments.
