U.N. panel calls for rapid action against climate change to secure a liveable future

Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health and there is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in a report on March 20, 2023. “Mainstreaming effective and equitable climate action will not only reduce losses and damages for nature and people, it will also provide wider benefits,” IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee said in a statement. “Climate justice is crucial because those who have contributed least to climate change are being disproportionately affected,” Aditi Mukherji, one of the 93 authors of the report, said. Anjal Prakash, research director, Bharti Institute of Public Policy, Indian School of Business, said in a statement said that the report reiterated the impact of climate change on India.
