[can-eecca] Fwd: [comms-ipcc-ar5] FINAL IPCC AR5 WG1 PACKAGE: highlights, messages, infographics, IPCC originals

[vl1enwl]

Hi there

Here is our final package of resources on IPCC AR5 WG1 on launch day. The
IPCC closing press conference has just finished, and you can find their
press release, the agreed Summary for Policy-Makers (SPM), an IPCC
Highlights document, and (later) a recording of the closing press
conference at: http://www.climatechange2013.org/

Attached are some new and updated resources for you. First, there is the
updated Resource Pack document for GCCA/CAN partners with updated AR5 key
findings, NGO messaging, draft op-ed, sample tweets and Fb posts and more.
The embargo on this has now lifted, it's meant to inform your output but
not for publication or wider distribution.

We also attach a short comparison document which highlights the main
changes in the SPM resulting from this week of negotiations here in
Stockholm. This may save you time if you don't want to re-read the entire
SPM. We are also attaching - courtesy of our friendly colleagues at
RAC-France - three simple info-graphics for use on social media platforms
or to illustrate your blogs.

Also, re-sending from last night, attached is a template press release for
local use, please add your spokesperson's name and local flavour to make it
fit your needs. And below you still find the run down of messages, news
coverage, stakeholder statements and rebuttal pieces that we already shared
last night.

Please help make the case for strong climate action by using the IPCC
report to increase the pressure on our governments to fund and ensure
emission cuts and adaptation efforts. Big thanks to everyone on the ground
in Stockholm who supported this effort, and to colleagues around the world
engaging and helping remotely. More updates may follow depending on the
public/media debate resulting from this IPCC release today.

Have a nice weekend

Ria from CAN and Christian from GCCA

TOP LINE MESSAGES

We have put together some global topline messages to help with your IPCC
reporting. Communicating AR5 is likely to be most effective if output is
focused on what the science means at the local level; both climate impacts
and the political implications of the IPCC report. Local impact and success
stories can help make communications about AR5 more relevant and engaging
for targeted audiences.

The Science

· The IPCC Report shows with extreme certainty that climate change
is real, caused by human activity and requires urgent action. According to
the IPCC, sea levels are rising, precipitation patterns are changing, sea
ice is declining and oceans are acidifying - all with grave consequences
for our communities, environments and economies. Some regions of the world
will experience more frequent or more intense droughts, floods or storms.

· If we look at global warming, the three most recent decades have
all been warmer than all preceding decades since the industrial revolution.
The period covering 1983 - 2012 was very likely the warmest 30-year period
in 800 years, and likely the warmest of the past 1400 years.

· This is the most comprehensive, authoritative and scrutinized
report on climate change that has ever been written. Prepared by over 800
of the world's leading experts from all corners of the globe it is the most
encompassing assessment of scientific knowledge on climate change.

What it means

· Climate change is impacting people here and now, but the
consequences will be even worse in the future if action is not taken.
Therefore the focus must now be on ensuring comprehensive government action
that averts the worst impacts of climate change.

· For the first time, the IPCC report identifies a global level
for carbon dioxide emissions that the world cannot exceed if we are to meet
the international goal of preventing devastating levels of global warming.
While the new IPCC report comes with good news saying that strong action
can still keep warming within the 2 degrees C danger-threshold, it also
states clearly that the world is currently headed for a much higher
temperature rise.

· Governments must urgently implement plans to reduce emissions or
the dangerous impacts already affecting vulnerable communities will become
even more widespread.

Urgent Action

· Governments must make necessary funding available to increase
resilience and support vulnerable communities suffering the most from the
impacts of climate change happening now. More funding would be available if
governments phased out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies and instead
provided incentives for and access to clean, renewable energy for all.

· Most known fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground if we
want to guarantee a safe climate future, so governments should divert
investments from new fossil fuel development towards clean, renewable
energy and innovative solutions to use energy more efficiently. The
solutions exist and taking action makes sense, delivering important
benefits for communities, economies and the environment they depend on.

Managing Risk

· Climate action is also about risk-management. The science tells
us that that risks are huge, and our actions have to match what is
effectively the biggest challenge of our generation.

· Climate action is necessary to stave off this challenge, and to
create a fairer, healthier and happier place for future generations. The
longer we delay real action, the more expensive addressing climate change
will get.


REGIONAL BREAKDOWN

The IPCC offers a comprehensive view on global climate change. If you are
interested in local climate observations, projections and impacts affecting
your region directly and want to make your messaging more relevant and
engaging in your country, we have produced a "Region by Region
Guide<http://treealerts.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IPCC_Region_by_Region_14Sep2013.pdf>"
to IPCC's AR5 WG1.
