The world faces unavoidable multiple climate hazards over the next two decades with global warming of 1.5°C and even temporarily exceeding this warming level would mean additional, severe impacts, some of which will be irreversible, according to a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that was made public on Monday.
The report, which was to have released last September but was delayed due to the pandemic, builds on previous assessments by the IPCC by increasing the certainty of a plethora of climate-linked disasters.
