Section 5 of 5IPCC Reports: Key Takeaways
Six decades of scientific assessment distilled into actionable insights for climate action.
Human Influence is Unequivocal
The IPCC provides very high confidence that human activities have warmed the planet, with no reasonable doubt about our role in climate change.
Time is Running Out
We have only about 380 GtCO₂ left in the carbon budget for a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5°C. Rapid action is essential.
Solutions Exist and are Affordable
Climate solutions are available today and becoming increasingly cost-effective. The economic case for action is clear.
Equity Must Be Central
Climate action must address justice and fairness. Vulnerable communities are disproportionately affected and must be prioritized.
Adaptation is Essential
Even with strong mitigation, some climate impacts are now unavoidable. Adaptation must complement emission reductions.
Hope Through Action
While the challenges are significant, the IPCC shows that we have the knowledge and tools to address climate change effectively.
Ready to Take Action?
The IPCC shows us that climate action is both urgent and achievable. Use this knowledge to drive positive change in your community and beyond.
