A report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that “approximately 3.3 to 3.6 billion people live in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change.”

The IPCC in its latest Working Group II(WGII) report published on Monday, warned that human-induced climate change has caused widespread impacts and damage to nature and people more than changes caused by nature.

The report, which focuses on climate change mitigation, assessing methods for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere was approved on Sunday by the 195 member governments of the IPCC, through a virtual approval session that was held over two weeks starting on February 14.

The 3,675-page report is the second instalment of four reports released under the IPCC’s current assessment cycle, with subsequent reports scheduled to be published later this year.

The first part of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) published in August last year, had warned that global warming is becoming worse and profound climatic changes already manifesting may be “irreversible” for centuries to come.

The report was described as “a code red for humanity.”

In his reaction to the report, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres said, ” I’ve seen many reports, but nothing like the new @IPCC_CH climate report, an atlas of human suffering & damning indictment of failed climate leadership.”

“I know people everywhere are anxious & angry. I am, too. It’s time to turn rage into #ClimateAction,” the UN boss said in a tweet on Monday.

Also reacting to the report, Chair of the IPCC, Hoesung Lee said, “this report is a dire warning about the consequences of inaction.”

Speaking further, he said, “It shows that climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our wellbeing and a healthy planet. Our actions today will shape how people adapt and nature responds to increasing climate risks”.
