The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) unanimously approved the "IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6* Comprehensive Report)," which emphasized the urgency of integrated short-term climate action at the 58th General Assembly.
This report provides comprehensive information on the scientific basis, impact, adaptation, and mitigation of climate change by describing the core contents of three special reports and three Working Groups published during the IPCC 6th assessment cycle (2015-2023).
Thisreport consists of A) current status and trends, B) long-term climate change, risks and responses, and C) short-term responses.The main contents of summary for Policymakers (SPM)are as follows.
A. The current status and trend assess the observed evidence of climate change, the historical and current factors and effects of human-induced climate change, the adaptation and mitigating reactions currently implemented.
B.Long-term climate change, risks, and responses presented the assessment results of climate change by 2100 according to future socioeconomic development.
C. The short-term response points out the importance of a climate resilient development path that integrates adaptive and mitigating behaviors toward sustainable development. IPCC evaluate adaptation and mitigation behavior options in the short term (by 2040) and suggest ways to expand them.
Meanwhile,Kim Hyo-eun, the foreign ministry's climate change ambassador said "The importance of scienceis increasing in major international climate negotiations, including the UN climate change. As the IPCC has had a great influence on the international community's response to climate change, we hope that its role and importance will continue to expand."
