Report have gathered the latest research evidence and strengthen the argument showing that reducing emissions is currently cheaper and will bring a greater effect, than inaction.
The report pays special attention to the benefits of the clean renewable energy use and the fossil fuels abandonment in the long term. Together with the need to transform the worlds power generation, IPCC offers other options to respond to the climate change, for example, energy efficiency, investment in clean transport and energy efficient building technologies.
