IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate

The IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate examines how climate change is impacting oceans, glaciers, ice sheets, and frozen landscapes. It highlights rising sea levels, melting ice, and more intense storms, which threaten ecosystems, communities, and economies worldwide. The report underscores that human activities are the primary driver of these changes and emphasizes the urgent need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to protect these vital parts of the Earth's system and mitigate future risks.
