Climate crash course: Just how bad is climate change?

GLF Live

16-11-2022 • 22 mins

There are seemingly endless new reports on how global warming, disastrous weather events and biodiversity loss are happening more quickly than anticipated and slipping further from our control.

But just how bad are things? Is there any chance of keeping temperature-rise in check? As countries go through another round of climate negotiations at COP27, are we on a path toward creating a livable future or furthering climate disaster – or are we on any clear path at all?

In this in the third episode of our GLF Live mini-series of “climate crash courses,” we hear from Youba Sokona, the vice-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the pre-eminent organization on climate science and knowledge, on where we really stand with climate change and what we can expect in the months and years to come.
