IPCC AR6 WG III Report: Highlights and Implications for India and Bihar

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published the third instalment of its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) on April 4, 2022. Coming on the heels of two previous reports focused on the physical science of climate change and its impacts, this report from Working Group III concentrates primarily on mitigation, or reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. It provides an updated global assessment of climate change mitigation progress and pledges and examines the sources of global emissions. It also explains developments in emission reduction and mitigation efforts, assessing the impact of national climate pledges in relation to long-term emissions goals.

For India, accelerated and equitable climate action in mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts is critical to sustainable development. This webinar brings together climate experts to discuss the implication of the report findings for India and for Bihar.
