Humans have never been more safe from the impact of extreme weather than they are today.
Today, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the first tranche of its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). This report, focusing on the ‘physical science basis’ of climate change, will be followed by other reports on ‘adaptation and vulnerability’ and climate-change mitigation early next year. Meanwhile, the publication today has ignited predictably excited commentary from politicians, activists and environmental journalists, who all hope that AR6 will refocus world leaders’ attention on the upcoming COP26 climate meeting later this year.
