I am thankful to people like you who have the ability and interest and then take the time to read, understand and summarize the summary for the rest of us who care about the environment but really don’t know what to do about it. I’m 75. I’ve been hearing about global warming and engaging in little recycling projects for at least 50 years. I believe that industrialization got us into this mess and more advanced technologies can and with social cooperation can get us out of it. I’m pleased that Adam indicated that some progress has been made. I think that the way that policies and technologies that protect our environment will be accepted and implemented will depend upon their ability to appeal to and facilitate our selfishness instincts. Food, clothing, shelter communication and transportation are what everybody wants and needs. To get these things we have exploited and destroyed our environment. So how can we exploit without destroying? Make it profitable. I just bought my first electric car. I love it and I hope it benefits the environment but first, I love it. I know that lithium ion batteries are not environmentally friendly so mining is a trade off from drilling but hopefully newer battery technologies will be less harmful. I think I can feel that your generation appears to be buying into Green Energy and the supporting technologies and I hope that you can and will make sustainability cool and turn this earth ship around before it’s too late. Great work and Thank You!
What Is Climate Change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

About
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is in its Sixth Assessment cycle, during which the IPCC will produce the Assessment reports of its three Working Groups, three Special Reports, a refinement to the Methodology Report and the Synthesis report. The Synthesis Report (SYR) is the last of the Sixth Assessment Report products, finalized in March 2023, in time to inform the 2023 Global Stocktake by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as mandated by Decision 1/CP.21 .
2023 is when countries will review progress towards the Paris Agreement goals, including the goal of keeping global warming to well below 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. The Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) provides an overview of the state of knowledge on the science of climate change, emphasizing new results since the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014. It is fully based on the reports of the three Working Groups of the IPCC, as well as on the three Special Reports on Global Warming of 1.5°C, on Climate Change and Land, and on the Ocean and the Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. It provides an integrated view of climate change as the final part of the Sixth Assessment Report. The Synthesis Report consists of the Summary for Policymakers and a Longer Report. It will be published as a stand-alone publication in the six official UN languages.
IPCC Procedures for the preparation, review, adoption and approval of the SYR can be found here. The SYR outline was agreed at the 52nd Panel Session of the IPCC in February 2020.

Activities
To support the Synthesis Report writing process, the SYR TSU organizes various meetings including Core Writing Team meetings. The Core Writing Team (CWT) is the group of authors who are preparing the Synthesis Report. The IPCC Bureau at its 58th Session in May 2020 selected the members of CWT from the author teams of the three IPCC Working Groups and the three Special Reports, reflecting balance in geographical distribution, gender, and representative of a range of expertise. The list of 30 Core Writing Team authors and 9 Review Editors can be found here. The CWT also includes the Chair, the IPCC Vice-Chairs, the Working Group Co-Chairs, the heads of the Working Group and Synthesis Report Technical Support Units, and the Secretary of the IPCC.
