'This is our last chance to save ourselves from climate crisis' ECA responds to IPCC climate report

摘要

Leading electrotechnical and engineering services body ECA calls for long-term thinking, delivery plans and concrete action from government in response to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The landmark report published this week warns that within the next 20 years, global temperatures are likely to rise 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, making heatwaves, flooding and droughts more common and extreme. The report has been labelled a "Code Red for humanity". Luke Osborne, ECA Energy and Emerging Technologies Solutions Advisor, said: "The IPCC's message is stark, yet it's not surprising. The worst effects of climate change can still be mitigated if we act now and with maximum effort -this really is our last chance to save ourselves from climate crisis.
