What to expect from COP 26, which opens in Glasgow on Monday, November 1st? World leaders must agree to limit global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) believes that even if states succeed in honoring the 2015 Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius or 1.5 degrees Celsius. “Living conditions change beyond the ability of some organisms to adapt.”.

Between 2006 and 2015, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface increased by 0.87 C, compared to pre – industrial records. Global warming is expected to reach + 1.5 സെ C by 2040 and + 2 C by 2060. According to the IPCC, an increase of 1.5 ° C will decompose 70 to 90% of the planet’s coral reefs..

If the temperature rises between 1.5 C and 2 C, approx Another 1.7 billion people will be affected by the extreme heat, 420 million in extreme heat and 65 million in abnormal heat waves every five years.

Famine and new viruses

In addition, permafrost may disappear from this frozen ground, which contains large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that is more potent than CO2. The appearance of new viruses. When the temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius, 15% of this soil will melt and everything will loosen and global warming will worsen.

Finally, an increase of 2 C is also possible Increase famine. Fish stocks around the world and crops such as rice, grain and soybeans will decline, leading to long-term food instability. The IPCC report predicts, 2 കൂടുതൽ C more, increase 490 million people are facing water shortages, Or 7% of the current world population.

According to the IPCC, the only way out is to avoid this catastrophic situation Completely change the way we consume. This, globally.
