The IPCC reports are written in really difficult, technical language that makes them almost impossible to understand. We filmed this discussion about the most recent report, with the help of Dr Charlie Gardner from XR Scientists, to draw out the meaning behind the technical language and explain what’s really going on.
If you have friends and family who are not aware of the reports or do not understand their contents, please share this with them. We hope they might find this an easy-to-follow discussion.
The recent report, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, (6th Assessment Report, Working Group 2) summarises all the climate science that’s been carried out around the world, combining it all into a single document, that can be used by anyone who wants to understand the many different ways that climate change is going to devastate everything if we don’t stop it. The focus of this one is adaptation – what we need to do if we’re going to survive the crisis with a minimum of loss, suffering, and death.
We don’t cover the entire content because the report itself is huge. We look at a few extracts from the “summary for policymakers” which is the shortened version of the report that is signed off by governments. You can find that version here. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/
