One of the central elements affecting our work is the risks and impacts of climate change; therefore, we use as relevant information the data generated by the working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which evaluates the scientific aspects of the phenomenon. This working group anticipated that climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying.
In its sixth report on climate change, entitled The Physical Science Basis, the group of more than 234 scientists pointed out that the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes that are already occurring, such as the continuous rise in sea levels, will not be reversed for several centuries or millennia. Among the key points of the report, it is specified that all the warming of the last 170 years is attributable to human action and that in all the scenarios considered it is expected that, by 2030, the average temperature of the planet will be 1.5°C or 1.6°C higher than pre-industrial era levels, a decade earlier than expected.
