The recent landmark report released by The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) puts forth a stark image of the state of climate change globally and stresses upon the need for immediate action to minimize significant impact.
According to the report, global temperatures have already risen by about 1.1 degree Celsius from pre-industrial times and are on track to hit 1.5 degree Celsius by the 2030s, a decade earlier than the UN predicted in 2018.
This rise would lead to significant observable impact with 14% of the world's population facing extreme heat waves once every 5 years, forest fires will become a common occurring, flooding is likely to displace 2.7 million people annually in Africa and many other calamities.
There is an urgent need to keep a constant tab on these changes and course correct whenever necessary. For this purpose Blue Sky Analytics incorporates high resolution real-time environmental data in daily decisions.
