In 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), produced a comprehensive report on Climate Change.  The report is called Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability.  Hundreds of scientists world-wide worked on the report.  The Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability report assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities at global and regional levels. It also reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits of the natural world and human societies to adapt to climate change. 


This excellent report is summarized in a YouTube video provided by the IPCC.  The speakers in the video clearly state that the climate change science is clear.  Any delay in concerted global climate action means missing a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a livable future.  The report provides a dire warning about the consequences of inaction.  Climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our well-being and a healthy planet.  There are two links provided below.  One for the YouTube video on the Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability report, and a link for the actual report.
