The IPCC known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was formed by the UN to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments of the current state of climate change.
The Synthesis report has been released and Antonio Guterres says that the report has become a survival guide for humanity. the report says that the global surface temperature was 1.09 degrees celsius higher in 2011-2020 than in 1850-1900, with larger increases over land than over the ocean. the global surface temperature has also increased faster since 1970. The report also says that it has become extremely hard for the world to overcome natural disasters.
It is worth mentioning India's position in IPCC. India is among the countries that face the highest risk from climate change's impact. it is understood that India has taken a lot of climate investment but if they are not equally distributed, then being a part of the IPCC is not worth it. India has a history of more than a century of burning fossil fuels as well as unequal and unsustainable energy and land use which led to the destruction of the climate and ecology and increased global warming above pre-industrial levels. Climate impacts on people and ecosystems are more widespread and severe than expected, and future risks will escalate rapidly with every fraction of a degree of warming. to create some control adaptation measures can be implemented but the problem is about finance. If more funds are available then a lot of problems can be at least controlled.
