The IPCC has introduced a new high-end risk scenario, stating that a global rise “approaching 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150 under a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario cannot be ruled out due to deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes.”. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100.

However, its authors leave a glimmer of hope in what could be a nod to governments ahead of COP26, that strong and sustained CO2 emissions reductions, as well as cuts to other planet-warming greenhouse gasses (GHG), would limit climate change. In the report, researchers set out new estimates for the chances of crossing the 1.5

The petitioner in this case requests that the NPCC be updated according to the best available science and the IPCC’s sixth assessment report ( Climate Change 2021 ) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by the Brazilian government consistent with a 1.5 The NPCC establishes a binding commitment to reduce GHG emissions between 36.1%

A quick reminder of what net zero is: it’s the balance point at which a country, business or organisation absorbs as much greenhouse gases as it produces. According to their first Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement, the country emits 192 million tonnes of CO2 and absorbs 215 million.
