Working Group III releases latest contribution to the 6th Assessment Report
The evidence is clear: the time for action is now. We can halve emissions by 2030.
On 4 April, WG III of the IPCC (which looks at Climate Change Mitigation) released the latest installment of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). The report was approved by 195 member governments of the IPCC through a virtual approval session that started on March 21. It is the third instalment of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
The report found that in 2010-2019 average annual global greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels in human history, but the rate of growth has slowed. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach. However, there is increasing evidence of climate action.
The report shows that since 2010, there have been sustained decreases of up to 85% in the costs of solar and wind energy, and batteries. An increasing range of policies and laws have enhanced energy efficiency, reduced rates of deforestation and accelerated the deployment of renewable energy. An IPCC press release highlights some of the report's key messages, including:
We have options in all sectors to at least halve emissions by 2030
The report finds that limiting global warming will require major transitions in the energy sector. This will involve a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use, widespread electrification, improved energy efficiency, and use of alternative fuels (such as hydrogen).
“Having the right policies, infrastructure and technology in place to enable changes to our lifestyles and behaviour can result in a 40-70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This offers significant  untapped potential,” said IPCC WG III Co-Chair Priyadarshi Shukla. “The evidence also shows that these lifestyle changes can improve our health and wellbeing.”
Cities and other urban areas also offer significant opportunities for emissions reductions. “We see examples of zero energy or zero-carbon buildings in almost all climates,” said IPCC WG III Co-Chair Jim Skea. “Action in this decade is critical to capture the mitigation potential of buildings.”
The next few years are critical
In the scenarios IPCC scientists assessed, limiting warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°F) requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by 43% by 2030; at the same time, methane would also need to be reduced by about a third. Even if we do this, it is almost inevitable that we will temporarily exceed this temperature threshold but could return to below it by the end of the century.
“It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F),” said Skea. “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.”
Closing investment gaps
The report looks beyond technologies and demonstrates that while financial flows are a factor of three to six times lower than levels needed by 2030 to limit warming to below 2°C (3.6°F), there is sufficient global capital and liquidity to close investment gaps. However, it relies on clear signalling from governments and the international community, including a stronger alignment of public sector finance and policy.
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
Accelerated and equitable climate action in mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts is critical to sustainable development. Some response options can absorb and store carbon and, at the same time, help communities limit the impacts associated with climate change. For example, in cities, networks of parks and open spaces, wetlands and urban agriculture can reduce flood risk and reduce heat-island effects.
A video trailer about the report and its production, as well as a short film about the report's main findings, are available to watch online.

Working Group III at the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany
|
|
From 6-16 June, experts from WG III’s latest report contributed to the Climate Change Conference in Bonn (SB56), delivering the findings of the report and responding to questions about these findings from Parties and Non-party observers. The IPCC was also represented by experts from WG II, similarly presenting findings from their report on climate impacts and adaptation. For a full report of SB56, we recommend visiting the IISD Earth Negotiations Bulletin. Here is a summary of the WG III highlights:
IPCC-SBSTA special event on IPCC WG III
On 08 June, the IPCC-SBSTA Special event sought to unpack the new scientific knowledge and key findings of the latest WG III report. In the three-hour session, experts from WG III delivered the report findings by way of the structure of the Summary for Policymakers. The event was split into four parts and included a Q&A to allow Parties to directly engage with IPCC experts to enhance their understanding of the report. The session was co-chaired by the chairs of the SBSTA and the IPCC. The full event is available to watch online and the presentation can be downloaded here. Speakers included WG III Co-Chair Jim Skea, and WG III Authors/Technical Support Unit (TSU) staff: Shonali Pachauri, Keywan Riahi, Smail Khennas, Joyashree Roy, Minal Pathak, Michael Grubb, Sylvia Kreibiehl, Heleen de Coninck, Navroz Dubash and Minal Pathak.
Part II of the Structured Expert Dialogue
On 08 June, WG III experts presented at the third meeting of the Structured Expert Dialogue (SED). The SED aims to ensure scientific integrity in the UNFCCC process by providing space for focussed scientific and technical exchange of views, information, and ideas in an open and transparent manner. The SED is a formal presentation and dialogue on relevant scientific findings for the Second Periodic Review, which reviews the adequacy of the long-term global goal in the Paris Agreement, and the progress towards achieving it. The long-term global goal is to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Experts were invited to respond to questions submitted by Parties in advance of the session in relation to the findings of the WG III report and its relevancy for the Second Periodic Review. The full event is available to watch online and the presentations can be downloaded here. Speakers included WG III Co-Chair Jim Skea, and WG III Authors/TSU staff; Dipak Dasgupta, Navroz Dubash, Michael Grubb, Shonali Pachauri, Keywan Riahi, Raphael Slade and Alaa Al Khourdajie.
Fourteenth meeting of the Research Dialogue
On 09 June, WG III Author Oliver Geden provided a short presentation on Carbon Dioxide Removal in the WG III report. The Research Dialogue provides a setting to discuss needs for climate change research and research-related capacity-building, particularly those of developing countries, and to convey research findings and lessons learned from activities undertaken by regional and international research programmes and organizations. The session aimed to respond to two guiding questions: a) What are the latest research findings and lessons learned, particularly at regional level?, b)What are specific needs for national and regional research and research capacity building for developing countries? The full event is available to watch online and the presentations can be downloaded here.
Global Stocktake Technical Dialogue
 The global stocktake of the Paris Agreement (GST) is a process for taking stock of the implementation of the Paris Agreement with the aim to assess the world’s collective progress towards achieving the purpose of the agreement and its long-term goals. As part of this process, the GST team ran a ‘Technical Dialogue’ at SB56, involving a number of experts from WG III (Jim Skea, Andy Reisinger, Gabriel Blanco, Sylvia Kreibiehl, Heleen de Coninck, Chuks Okereke). This included a set of Roundtables with expert panels and discussion on the science, and a World Café. The World Café was an informal setting for participants to explore topics across the scope of the GST, in a larger room with several small tables. The setting facilitated interactive exchanges, as participants were able to rotate and circulate, with signals every 30 or 45 minutes. An expert and rapporteur remained at each table. Each table covered thematic areas of the GST.

Expert: Siir Kilkis (AR6 LA)
About: Siir Kilkis spoke to the media with a focus on the IPCC report as a whole and urban systems in particular. In her broadcasted interviews, she emphasized “A big part of the solution depends on what we do in urban systems. This includes how urban areas are planned, how energy sources are directed to renewable energy, which materials are chosen for the built environment, and how carbon sinks, the green and blue areas, will be enhanced. Better urban planning, changes in energy and material consumption, the choices of inhabitants living in cities, and electrification based on renewable energy are among prominent solution areas for urban systems. Rapid, deep and sustained emissions reductions are important for realizing net-zero GHG emission targets.” She compared possible outcomes based on the mitigation effort in urban systems, emphasized the linkages of mitigation with the SDGs and the role of shifting development pathways towards sustainability through integrated approaches.

"Pour respecter les objectifs de l’Accord de Paris, il faut impérativement construire une réflexion collective associant sciences du climat, sciences sociales et sciences politiques qui entraîneront une nécessaire évolution de nos organisations collectives et de nos comportements pour atteindre la neutralité carbone et s’adapter aux impacts du changement climatique à toutes les échelles. Cette évolution doit être entreprise, non seulement par les citoyens mais aussi par les gouvernements, les collectivités et les entreprises. À travers des keynotes et tables-rondes, ce colloque international rappellera les enjeux de la neutralité carbone pour un pays, un territoire, une entreprise ou un citoyen avant d’aborder la question des différences entre les ambitions affichées et les trajectoires actuelles, et mènera une réflexion sur les leviers et les défis pour parvenir à la neutralité carbone et piloter sa mise en œuvre."
