A flood of reactions has greeted the Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Cycle (AR6) and Summary for Policymakers, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released on Monday, March 20, 2023.

Observers believe that the AR6 Synthesis Report holds a mirror up to the scale of the climate crisis and lays out in stark detail why the end of the fossil fuel era starts now.

......Mohamed Adow, Director of Power Shift Africa, said: “This announcement from the IPCC is important for the whole world but nowhere is it more important than for Africa, which is on the frontline of the climate crisis.

“It is a wake-up call for Africa and the world."
