A major UN report dubbed a "survival guide for humanity" this week said the Earth would reach 1.5 degrees of warming by the early 2030s unless deep and rapid action is taken to slash emissions across all sectors. RFI spoke with Gerhard Krinner, head of CNRS research at France's Institute of Environmental Geosciences, who is also a main author of the IPCC's definitive report on climate change this decade.
RFI: The AR6 Synthesis Report has been called the "report of reports", condensing six years of work. It's meant to inform policymakers at Cop28 in November and in the years beyond. Have we reached a point where there's enough science: we know the tipping points are there; we know what the consequences of uncapped warming will be ... and so only action matters now?
