“A compendium of human suffering and evidence of the criminal abdication of world leaders”.
It is with this sad observation that António Guterres, Secretary General of the UN, welcomed the second part of the sixth assessment report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), published on February 28 .
In fact, this latest report testifies first of all to “visible and irreversible damage in certain regions of the world”.
Gonéri Le Cozannet, who contributed to its drafting, also specifies that “what the previous reports announced is confirmed: more heat waves, extreme precipitation, a rise in sea level, etc.
".
Among the potential solutions: rethinking cities
He then underlines the strong inequality between countries: “in Africa, for example, climate change compromises the objectives of food security and access to water.
Whereas in Europe, these aspects are not threatened”.
Finally, the IPCC raises the question of potential solutions to this situation.
Among these, Gonéri Le Cozannet, who refuses to give in to pessimism, believes that we could – or rather should – rethink cities so that they "emit less greenhouse gas, that we limit heat and facilitate the evacuation of rainwater".
