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.

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.
