TheCable’s quick climate facts will help demystify these concepts through easy-to-understand and straight-to-the-point explanations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says there were more than 2.6 million to 3.4 million weather-related The organisation said with 1.7°C global warming by 2050, 17 to 40 million people could migrate internally in sub-Saharan Africa.
The IPCC said about 34 percent of total net anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019 came from the energy sector, while 24 and 22 percent came from industry and agriculture respectively. The organisation added that carbon capture and storage can provide up to 1 gigatonne of emission reduction potential in 2050 if current deployment trajectories continue. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal marshes provide powerful carbon sinks that can store up to five times more carbon per area than tropical forests and absorb same from the atmosphere about 3 times as fast
