I put the latest #IPCC Synthesis #climatereport into a set of 35 haiku / #sciku. Obviously this is my personal interpretation, not an official 'translation'. Hope you enjoy it nonetheless. (Link to the full sciku set at the end of the thread.) @thescikuproject @IPCC_CH Image
Earth is heating up:
1.1 degrees, rising,
all caused by humans.

SYR SPM A.1.1, A.1.2, Footnote 8, Figure 2.1 Image
Widespread rapid changes,
Climate extremes felt worldwide,
Loss and damage now.

SYR SPM A2, Figure SPM.1(a),(b) Image
“We’re in the same boat!”
Yes – some in the driving seat,
others get keel-hauled.

SYR SPM A.1.5, A.2, Figure 2.2, Figure 2.3, Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 4.4 Image
We try adapting;
Already reaching limits
Finance gaps are huge.

SYR SPM A.3 Image
Children born today
Will face much more heat than us.
That’s our legacy.

SYR Figure SPM.1(c) Image
Climate efforts grow,
But NDCs starkly fail
Our collective goals.

SYR SPM A.4.1, A.4.3, Figure 2.5 Image
We face yawning gaps
in emission targets and
implementation.

SYR Table 2.2 Image
Existing fossil
infrastructure is enough
To cook our planet.

SYR SPM.5.3, Figure 3.5 Image
Solar and wind rise,
Mix of push/pull policies,
Cost drops, hope persists.

SYR SPM A.4.1, A.4.2, Figure 2.4 Image
We’ll reach 1.5
Within a decade. Stark fact.
Beyond that: our choice.

SYR SPM B.1, B.1.1, Footnote 29 Image
Where are we headed?
Scenarios can show us
different futures.

SYR B.1., Box SPM.1, Cross-Section Box 2, Figure 1 Image
Our assumptions shape
The futures we envisage:
Please keep that in mind.

SYR Box SPM.1 Image
More heat, more extremes.
Compound risks: more dry, more wet,
More storms. Not pretty.

SYR SPM A2.1, B.1.3, B.1.4, Figure SPM.2 Image
Every increment
Of warming matters. Risks rise,
Worse than we had thought.

SYR SPM B.2, B.2.2, Figure SPM.4 Image
Seas won’t stop rising
But we can reduce the speed.
Let’s put the brakes on.

SYR SPM B.3, Figure 3.4 Image
Today’s choices count:
A half degree translates to
metres, over time.

SYR SPM B.3, Figure 3.4 Image
Low chance/big impact:
Such threats become more likely
The more Earth heats up.

SYR SPM B.3.2, B.3.3 Image
Adaptation helps,
so does good development.
The same thing, really.

SYR C.2.3, C.4, Figure SPM.4(c), (d) Image
Ok I got the wrong attachment...

Adaptation helps,
so does good development.
The same thing, really.

SYR C.2.3, C.4, Figure SPM.4(c), (d) Image
We can’t adapt to
Everything. The more warming,
The fewer options.

SYR SPM B.4 Image
To limit warming,
Stick to a carbon budget,
Cut other gases.

SYR SPM B.5, B.5.1, Figure 3.5 Image
The total carbon
Budget is mostly spent. Now:
Share what’s left. Fairly.

SYR SPM B.5.4, C.5.1, Figure 3.5 Image
Remaining carbon
Budget is small. How small? That
Depends on methane.

SYR SPM B.5.2, B.5.3, Footnote 41 Image
Reaching Paris needs
Rapid, deep emission cuts
Within this decade.

SYR SPM B.6.1, B.6.2, Table SPM.XX Image
Net zero, which one:
CO2 or GHG?
They are not the same.

SYR SPM B.5.1, B.6.1, Figure 3.6 Image
Net zero goals need
CDR. Get used to it.
Try to use it well.

SYR SPM B.5.1, B.6.3, B.6.4, B.7.3 Image
Overshoot brings risks,
And needs lots more CDR.
The price of delay.

SYR SPM B.7.1, B.7.2, B.7.3 Image
Rapid reductions
demand unprecedented
transformations now.

SYR SPM C.1, C.2, C.3, Figure SPM.7 Image
Manage disruption
Through policy packages.
Use the full toolbox.

SYR SPM C.1.2, C.2.5, C.6 Image
Efforts serving both
development and climate can
sustain our future.

SYR SPM C.4, Figure 4.5 Image
Our past constrains us
But good choices now create
Resilient pathways.

SYR C.1, C.2, Figure SPM.6 Image
Rank justice highly,
Provide for just transitions.
Include behaviour change.

SYR SPM C.5 Image
Clear goals, commitment,
governance, laws, and finance.
Governments are key.

SYR SPM C.6 Image
Climate action needs
global cooperation,
upscaled finance flows.

SYR SPM C.7 Image
We know what to do,
And we know how to do it.
It’s up to us now.

What does the @IPCC_CHAR6 say about GHG emission metrics (GWP, GTP, GWP* etc)? This was covered in an in-session workshop at the June #SB58subsidiary bodies meeting of the @UNFCCC. A nerdy thread on the findings from WGIII from a mitigation perspective🧵1/26 Image
First, the full SBSTA session webcast and presentations (overview, WGI and WGIII summaries, and individual research perspectives) and Secretariat’s Technical Report can be downloaded here: . 2/26 unfccc.int/event/ipcc-in-…
Image
The IPCC WGIII findings on GHG metrics draw on a wide team of authors. See Chapter 2 cross-chapter box 2 , Chapter 2 supplementary material .3 , and Annex II (A.II.8) 3/26 ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3…

Too busy, or need poetry? Here’s the #IPCC’s Special Report on Climate Change and Land #SRCCL summarised in 29 #haiku #sciku. (Disclaimer: personal choices here, not representing the same balance as the full report. Apologies for misappropriating this ancient art form…) [1/29]

With the outreach and analysis of @IPCC_CH #SR15 report underway, I could not resist trying to summarise the SPM in 19 #haiku, forever inspired by @climate_haiku. (Disclaimer: personal choices here, not representing the same balance as the full report...). "Introduction" (1/19)
#SR15 in #haiku, A1 (2/19)
