270 researchers, 34,000 scientific studies, a total of 3,675 pages… the second part of the 6th IPCC report was made public on Monday, February 28, 2022. More than ever, the science is clear: the effects of global warming are already happening feel, they're serious, and it's not going to get any better in the future.

The means to adapt to it do exist, however.

There is nevertheless an urgent need to act, the window for action is already closing.

We take stock with three of the authors of this report.
