On Monday, April 4, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a landmark scientific report focused on mitigating climate change.
Climate change mitigation refers to actions that slow the rate of climate change by:
· reducing or stopping heat-trapping emissions, or
· removing heat-trapping greenhouse gasses from the air
The Working Group III report provides an updated global assessment of climate change mitigation progress and pledges, and examines the sources of global emissions. It explains developments in emission reduction and mitigation efforts, assessing the impact of national climate pledges in relation to long-term emissions goals.
The IPCC has published a technical summary and a summary for policymakers in addition to the full report.
