The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released the 6th Assessment Report which confirms – with a high degree of confidence - how rapidly the earth’s climate has changed over the past century.

Extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, and storms have increased around the world.
