Abstract

The most important climate report in the world, conducted by the IPCC, has been diluted by lobbies and governments during its drafting process. The summary for politicians and managers does not reflect the seriousness of the climate crisis or the necessary solutions. Proposals such as drastic emission reductions and the closure of gas and coal plants within a decade have been eliminated. Additionally, other aspects of the report have been softened. Countries like Saudi Arabia have pressured to remove recommendations and tone down the report, eliminating references to the responsibility of the top 10% richest in pollution and mentions of direct emissions from aviation, the automotive industry, and meat consumption. The complete report highlights the need for a revolution in our energy and socio-economic systems, and mentions the concept of "degrowth" as a possible solution. It also warns about the obstacle posed by the Energy Charter Treaty for climate change mitigation policies. [Extracted from the article]
