The latest IPCC findings now show clear and convincing evidence (90% certainty) that our use of fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gases are warming the Earth well beyond normal background levels, bringing far reaching consequences for the state of global ecosystems and the future of human development. Even if more drastic measures were started today to greatly reduce global emissions, the impacts of current climate change trends would continue to pose serious risks to humanity for decades to come. With the impacts of climate change felt more frequently in various parts of the world in the form of severe droughts, water shortages and extreme weather events, the time for speculation over the causes and consequences of climate change is over. While stronger mitigation measures are critical, it is increasingly clear that we are now entering a period of hard consequences, requiring urgent adaptation measures.}
