This report is more about climate change than energy. The executive summary of the report named “redrawing the energy-climate map” has an emphasis on energy landscape specifically fossil fuel and its impact on climate. The report states that the world is not on track to meet the target agreed by governments to limit the longterm rise in the average global temperature to 2 degree Celsius. Carbon-dioxide (CO) levels in the atmosphere exceeded 400 parts per million for the first time in several hundred millennia. Policies that have been implemented, or are now being pursued, suggest that the long-term average temperature increase is more likely to be between 3.6 °C and 5.3 °C (compared with pre-industrial levels), with most of the increase occurring this century. While global action is not yet sufficient to limit the global temperature rise to 2 °C, this target still remains technically feasible, though extremely challenging.
