Dear Subscribers,

Please see below information on the IPCC Report -- Climate Change 2022:

Contribution of Working Group II to the Sixth Assessment Report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [H.-O. Pörtner, D.C. Roberts, M.

The IPCC has finalized the second part of the Sixth Assessment Report,
Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, the Working
Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report. It was finalized on
27 February 2022 during the 12th Session of Working Group II and 55th
Session of the IPCC
<https://www.ipcc.ch/meeting-doc/ipcc-wgii-12-and-ipcc-55/>.

This flagship report <https://news.trust.org/item/20220228111953-piser/> by
270 leading climate scientists warns loss and damage is already happening
and is set to grow much worse.

In this new report, the IPCC noted that 3.3 billion to 3.6 billion people -
or more than one in four globally - already live in places that are "highly
vulnerable to climate change". As impacts strengthen - from
coastline-threatening sea level rise to more damaging floods - "risks are
becoming increasingly complex and more difficult to manage", it said, with
worsening drought and heat, for instance, fuelling wildfire risk. Multiple
climate hazards will increasingly happen at the same time, with other risks
like conflict or epidemics interacting with them and compounding overall
threats, the scientists warned.

*Conservation Agriculture (CA) is an ecological approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover
crops).* *These
practices are complemented with other complementary good agricultural
production and land management practices to generate and sustain optimum
performance.*



*CA systems are present in all continents, involving rainfed and irrigated
systems including annual cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and
plantation systems, agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture
and rangeland systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems.
CA systems operate regeneratively at multiple levels to optimally harness a
range of productivity, economic, environmental, and social benefits as well
as address local and global concerns related to food and water security,
climate change, land degradation, biodiversity and smallholder agricultural
development.*


*Conservation Tillage, Reduced Tillage, Low tillage and Minimum Tillage are
not CA, and nor is No-Till on its own. For a practice or a method to be
referred to as a CA practice or method, it must be part of a CA system. If
not, then it is what it is, a practice or a method similar to any other
with its own* *name e.g., no-till seeding, or mulching, or crop
diversification, etc*.
