The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released their second report detailing the impacts of climate change and reiterating that mankind is still unprepared for its destructive impacts.

The report, titled Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, claimed that if left unmitigated, climate change can produce risks in all parts of the world. These risks include coastal flooding, hunger due to drought and excessive rainfall, inland flooding, and extreme weather conditions.

The report also explained that climate change has already affected ecosystems, water supplies, agriculture, and ultimately, the livelihood of the people. It also emphasized that these negative effects occur in all parts of the world, encompassing all continents and all countries, rich or poor.

"We live in an era of man-made climate change," co-chair of the team that wrote the report, Vicente Barros told the Associated Press. "In many cases, we are not prepared for the climate-related risks that we already face."

The report is the second one of the IPCC's series of reports; however, no new science was presented on it.

"There's been a tremendous increase in the past seven years of the understanding of climate-related risks," Noah Diffenbaughof Stanford University told the Associated Press.

In August 2013, the first report of the IPCC revealed that 95 percent of global warming was caused by human activities which led to increasing temperatures and rising sea levels. There are almost 200 governments that have conceded to do what they can in limiting global warming to be lower than 3.6F (2C) which is already higher than the pre-industrial period. This has been regarded as a threshold for disaster activities which include more cases of floods, extinctions, droughts, and rising ocean waters that could swamp island nations and coastal regions. As a matter of fact, temperatures have already increased by 1.4F (0.8C) since the Industrial Revolution started.

The new report explained that the risks of climate change could be decreased provided that there will be a strong initiative from different governments. One of the mitigating techniques that they've outlined is to decrease greenhouse gases emissions.

Head of the World Wildlife's Fund, Sandeep Chamling Rai, stated that there is still a huge gap between the IPCC recommendation and the actions being done by the governments.

"The science is clear and the debate is over," he said. "Climate change is happening and humans are the major cause of emissions, driven mainly by our dependence on fossil fuels. This is driving global warming. This report sets out the impacts we already see, the risks we face in the future and the opportunities to act."
