IPCC Fifth Assessment Report

The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, released in 2014, is a comprehensive evaluation by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that assesses the scientific knowledge of climate change, its impacts, and potential responses. It concludes that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are major drivers of climate change. The report highlights rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise as significant concerns. It emphasizes the urgent need for global actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to unavoidable effects. The report aims to inform policymakers and the public about climate risks and necessary mitigation strategies.
