Un Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change

The world is very likely to miss the most important climate target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels but drastic and urgent action in this decade can prevent it, a UN panel on climate change said i

Two days after a climate summit failed to deliver game-changing pledges to slash carbon emissions, the United Nations warned Wednesday that global warming is devastating oceans and Earth's frozen spaces in ways that directly threaten a large slice of humanity.

By 2050, many coastal megacities and small island nations will experience once-a-century weather catastrophes every year, even with an aggressive drawdown of greenhouse gas emissions, a major UN report said.

Since 2005 seas have risen 2.5 times faster than during the 20th century mainly due to melting of ice sheets, and will likely jump four-fold again by 2100 if carbon emissions continue unabated, the UN warned on Wednesday.

Avoiding global climate chaos will require a major transformation of society and the world economy that is "unprecedented in scale," the UN said Monday in a landmark report that warns time is running out to avert disaster.

Earth's temperature will cross the threshold of 1.5 degree Celsius, if urgent actions are not taken to curb global warming. The leaked final draft report of UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned, "if emissions continue at their present rate, human induced warming will exceed 1.5 degree by around 2040."

If mankind fails to curtail global warming, we will have to deal with fallout ranging from massive refugee crises and submerged cities to scorching heatwaves and drought, scientists say.

Governments picked South Korea's Hoesung Lee on Tuesday to head the UN panel of climate scientists, which guides policies for combating global warming and won a share of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

The United Nations has said it will not inquire into allegations of sexual harassment against RK Pachauri, who resigned as the chairman of its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Tuesday.

The University of South Florida's Patel College of Global Sustainability (PCGS) has awarded its first Eminent Global Scholar in Sustainability Award to Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

India's high vulnerability and exposure to climate change will slow its economic growth, impact health and development, make poverty reduction more difficult and erode food security, a new report by scientists said on Monday.

The United Nations has launched an independent review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has come under much criticism in recent months.
