Climate change adaptation was addressed in the Paris Agreement from 2015, the Climate Adaptation Summit in January 2021 , and will be one of four key priorities during the upcoming COP26. However, I would argue that the climate research community has not had a visible presence during any of these meetings.

By Anders Lorenzen On the eve of the COP28 climate summit, scientists at the United Nations (UN) have warned that the world is on track for 3 degrees C of warming by the end of this decade. This is double the target that world leaders agreed to in 2015, when the Paris Agreement deal was struck and subsequently implemented.

Here, we define the Ambition Gap as the difference between the emissions reductions expected from a government’s planned policies and pledges, and those required to meet the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, in light of best available science. C temperature target within reach. C temperature target within reach.

Climate scientists have long predicted that the Mediterranean will be hit hard by rising temperatures and changes in rainfall, driven by human emissions. Future wildfire risk is projected to increase in southern Europe , according to the last report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.

In June 1979, atmospheric carbon stood at 339ppm, just below the 350ppm level scientists believe to be safe. In 2021 the world emitted 36.4 I had to wait 37 years of my life until the world finally agreed to a global climate deal with the Paris Agreement in 2015. Today that number is 420ppm and rising.

The note can also be interpreted as an insult because it suggests that we climate scientists do not know our subject. They apparently have not realised that both the UN climate panel and the professional communities in the USA and Europe have written a number of reports to do exactly that ( IPCC AR6 2021 , NCA 2017 , ESOTC2022 ).
