IPCC’s SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT

About:

• The authors of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis”, said the warming of the ocean would lead to a rise in sea levels, leading to frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-level areas.
  
  
• The planet was irrevocably headed towards warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial times in the next two decades.
  
  
• The report recommended that countries strive to achieve net zero emissions — no additional greenhouse gases are emitted — by 2050.
  
  
• The Fifth Assessment Report was released in 2014.
