A group of 10 US Senators have introduced a comprehensive international climate change legislation that among other things seeks to reinvigorate bilateral cooperation with India in this sector, ahead of next week s Leaders Summit on Climate being convened by the White House. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among the 40 world leaders invited by US President Joe Biden to the Leaders Summit on Climate on April 22 and 23. Being built as a key milestone on the road to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) this November in Glasgow, the Leaders Summit on Climate will underscore the urgency and the economic benefits of stronger climate action.
This two-part paper details the arguments and evidence that have been marshalled by both climate scientists and social scientists to critique the current procedures and methodologies deployed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to represent the risks of anthropogenic forcing and a continuation of business-as-usual. In the first part, the rationale for moving from an atmospheric stabilisation target to an average surface temperature target is explained. This is followed by a discussion of the IPCC's representations of nonlinear behaviour in relation to climate forcing, and the problems associated with using a single temperature target in assessing climate risk.

The Philippines’ first NDC conveys that the Philippines shall reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent, 2.71 percent of which is unconditional, from 2020 to 2030, in the sectors of agriculture, waste, industry, transport, and energy.
“The Climate Reality Project Philippines reiterates its commitment to work in support of the government’s goal to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 75% relative to 2010 levels and its aspiration to peak emissions by 2030, said Nazrin Castro, Branch Manager of TRCP PH, as she congratulated the Philippine Government for finally
