Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate

The Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, produced by climate scientists, examines how rising global temperatures affect oceans and icy regions like glaciers and ice sheets. It highlights that warmer oceans are hurting marine life, increasing sea levels, and causing more severe storms. Melting ice contributes to flooding and disrupts ecosystems. The report emphasizes the urgent need for action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to protect these vital parts of our planet, which are crucial for climate regulation, biodiversity, and human livelihoods.
