IPCC starts work on the 1.5°C target and 6th Assessment Report

摘要

The Paris Agreement of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change says that global temperature increase should be limited to 1.5°C compared with pre-industrial times. The UN therefore asked the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a special report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. The IPCC has now agreed during a meeting in April in Nairobi to prepare a special report on 1.5°C and will start work this summer with a call for experts to scope the report.
