» Nous sommes à la veille d’un désastre climatique irréversible. Il s’agit d’une urgence mondiale. Toutes les formes de vie sur Terre sont menacées »
Ce jugement se trouve dans le Rapport sur le climat 2024 de l’ONU. Avant de parler d’exagération, il faut lire le texte .
Le Haut conseil pour le climat y présente la version grand public, accessible et synthétique, de son rapport annuel sur le climat « Tenir le cap de la décarbonation, protéger la population », publié en juin 2024.
La version grand public est tournée vers la jeunesse, mais également destinée à toute personne souhaitant s’informer sur l’action publique climatique en France.
En seize page illustrées, le rapport grand public présente de manière pédagogique les principaux points du rapport annuel 2024 :
-Emissions de gaz à effet de serre,
-Respect des budgets carbone,
-Impacts du changement climatique sur la dernière décennie
-Besoins d’adaptation
-Evaluation du cadre d’action publique en France,
-Leviers pour l’action climatique nationale et internationale,
-Recommandations pour améliorer l’action publique en matière de climat.

We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis. For many years, scientists, including a group of more than 15,000, have sounded the alarm about the impending dangers of climate change driven by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem change (Ripple et al. 2020). For half a century, global warming has been correctly predicted even before it was observed—and not only by independent academic scientists but also by fossil fuel companies (Supran et al. 2023). Despite these warnings, we are still moving in the wrong direction; fossil fuel emissions have increased to an all-time high, the 3 hottest days ever occurred in July of 2024 (Guterres 2024), and current policies have us on track for approximately 2.7 degrees Celsius (°C) peak warming by 2100 (UNEP 2023). Tragically, we are failing to avoid serious impacts, and we can now only hope to limit the extent of the damage. We are witnessing the grim reality of the forecasts as climate impacts escalate, bringing forth scenes of unprecedented disasters around the world and human and nonhuman suffering. We find ourselves amid an abrupt climate upheaval, a dire situation never before encountered in the annals of human existence. We have now brought the planet into climatic conditions never witnessed by us or our prehistoric relatives within our genus, Homo (supplemental figure S1; CenCO2PIP Consortium et al. 2023).
