STORYLINE:
LEAD IN :

Humanity has possibly its last chance to prevent the worst of climate change effects, a top United Nations panel of scientists said today.

But doing so requires quickly slashing carbon pollution and fossil fuel use by nearly two-thirds by 2035.

Meanwhile 2023 has already witnessed weather extremes exacerbated by climate change, devastating the lives of those least responsible but most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.


STORYLINE:

Humanity still has a chance, close to the last, to prevent the worst of climate change 's future harms, a top United Nations panel of scientists said today (20th March 2023).

But doing so requires quickly slashing nearly two-thirds of carbon pollution by 2035, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said.

With the world only a few tenths of a degree away from the globally accepted goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times, scientists stressed a sense of urgency.

The goal was adopted as part of the 2015 Paris climate agreement and the world has already warmed 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit).

Climate change is now evident in various locations around the world.

Already in 2023 southern Iraq is facing severe drought, which has led to significant damage to farmland and forced farmers and shepherds to sell their livestock.

Water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have declined due to the almost complete absence of rain in the last four years.

In addition, water flowing from the neighbouring countries of Iran and Turkey has also decreased.

Many of the wetlands fed by the Euphrates have been affected by the drought, resulting in harsh living conditions for farmers who depend on farming and fishing.

High temperatures and drought caused by climate change exacerbate water shortages.

Iraq is among the world's five countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and desertification.
