Motion · S6M-00844 · 9 Aug 2021
Welcoming the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the latest report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been described by the UN Secretary-General as "code red for humanity"; recognises the calls for rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C and well below 2°C; understands that, if governments continue without significant GHG emissions reductions, global temperatures would surpass the 2°C limit and lead to irreversible climatic and environmental disasters, and recognises COP26 as a critical opportunity to secure stronger commitments from all parties to reduce GHG emissions and achieve net-zero globally by 2050.
