IPCC: We can act on climate change but time is running out
Climate changes are occurring in every region and globally, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. As the world’s latest and most rigorous scientific assessment of the physical basis of climate change, the report defines changes that are unprecedented in thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years. It emphasizes that there is still time to act, but it must happen immediately. Limiting climate change demands strong and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
3 million signs of momentum
People globally have logged over 3 million actions on ActNow, a UN climate campaign. With under 100 days before global climate talks, it's a strong sign of public commitment to climate solutions.

Why finance climate action?
Climate action requires significant investment, but its value is immense: a livable climate. Countries around the world are showing how climate finance can improve people’s lives and prospects for the planet.
Climate chief welcomes national plans
In line with the Paris Agreement, countries presented 110 new or updated climate action plans. But these make up only 58 per cent of the total, a shortfall that comes amid escalating impacts from the climate crisis.
As today’s IPCC report makes clear, there is no time for delay and no room for excuses.”
