Nothing and no one will be spared, says the IPCC in a new report

The IPCC believes that nothing and no one will be spared. In less than a century, 18% of animal species could disappear, like Komodo dragons, manta rays, polar bears. Lack of water in some places, rising sea levels in others, could affect half of humanity. “We estimate that between 3.3 and 3.6 billion people worldwide are vulnerable to climate change”says Debra Roberts, co-president of the IPCC.

Another very worrying figure: 8% of arable land will be unsuitable for cultivation by the end of the century, and could resemble what we are already seeing in Cyprus, where even olive trees are suffering from drought. The drop in agricultural and fishing yields will have consequences for food security. 8 to 80 million people will suffer from hunger by 2050. The bottom of the oceans is not spared, as evidenced by the famous coral reef, which is in very bad shape.
