'HIGH SPEED MITIGATION TRAIN NEEDS TO LEAVE THE STATION,' CONCLUDES
LONG-AWAITED UN CLIMATE REPORT
New York, Apr 13 2014 1:00PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the findings of a long-awaited
United Nations report on the mitigation of climate change released
earlier today in Berlin and urged all countries "to act swiftly and
boldly" to reach a "global, ambitious and legal [climate] agreement in
2015."

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest report,
<"http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg3/">Climate Change 2014: Mitigation
of Climate Change, released in Berlin, Germany, states that global
greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to rise at an accelerated pace
and concludes that urgent action is needed to limit the increase in
global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius and that action now and
will be far less costly than postponing action for the future.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which
action must be taken, the chair of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, told
press conference: "The high speed mitigation train needs to leave the
station very soon and all of global society would need to get on
board."

In a <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7597">statement
issued at UN Headquarters shortly after the report's release, the
Secretary-General urged "all countries to act swiftly and boldly on
climate change, to bring ambitious announcements and actions to the
climate summit on 23 September 2014, and to make every effort needed
to reach a global, ambitious and legal climate agreement in 2015."

The Secretary-General, who is convening the 23 September summit with
leaders from Governments, businesses and civil society to raise the
level of ambition, catalyze action on the ground and increase
political momentum, has been using every opportunity to press for bold
actions to tackle what he describes as the "defining issue of our
times."

"This new report challenges decision makers by presenting to them
alternative futures and spelling out the pathway to each. The only
safe path forward is to arrive at a carbon neutral world in the second
half of this century," said Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary
of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in a
<"http://unfccc.int/files/press/press_releases_advisories/application/pdf/pr20141304_ipccwg3.pdf">statement,
adding: "We cannot play a waiting game where we bet on future
technological miracles to emerge and save the day - and why would we?"

Sunday's IPCC release, the third installment of the Panel's Fifth
Assessment report, spotlights the options for mitigating climate
change and their underlying technological, economic and institutional
requirements. It lays out risks, uncertainty and ethical foundations
of climate change mitigation policies on the global, national and
sub-national level, investigates mitigation measures for all major
sectors and assesses investment and finance issues.

According to the IPCC, to keep global mean temperature to two degrees
Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70
percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end
of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere.

"Many different pathways lead to a future within the boundaries set by
the two degrees Celsius goal," said Ottmar Edenhofer, one of the three
co-chairs of the working group presenting the findings of the report
in Berlin. "All of these require substantial investments. Avoiding
further delays in mitigation and making use of a broad variety of
technologies can limit the associated costs."

Estimates of the economic costs of mitigation vary widely, says the
IPCC. In business-as-usual scenarios, consumption grows by 1.6 to 3
per cent per year. Ambitious mitigation would reduce this growth by
around 0.06 percentage points a year. However, the underlying
estimates do not take into account economic benefits of reduced
climate change.

The report released Sunday consists of the Summary for Policymakers, a
more detailed Technical Summary, the underlying 16 chapters, and three
annexes. Working Group III chapter teams were formed by 235 authors
and 38 review editors from 57 countries, and 180 experts provided
additional input as contributing authors. More than 800 experts
reviewed drafts of the report and submitted comments.

The new survey follows the release two weeks ago of the report
<"http://ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg2/">Climate Change 2014: Impacts,
Adaptation, and Vulnerability from Working Group II of the ICC, which
found that the effects of climate change are already occurring in all
continents and across the oceans, and the world, for the most part, is
ill-prepared for their risks. It also warned that while action can be
taken, managing the phenomenon's impacts will be difficult on a
rapidly warming planet.

The IPCC is the international body for assessing the science related
to climate change. It was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
to provide policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific
basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for
adaptation and mitigation.
