Is it climate change or climate chaos?

Christiana Figueres, who ran the UN treaty that enabled the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement, has told us a bit about what's in the report that will be released in just a few minutes.

"It's telling us how the impacts of climate change are now much more widespread than we thought, and much more severe - from heatwaves to droughts to wildfires, to heavy downpours and coastal flooding.

She added that with a number of recent extreme weather events all happening within a short space of time, the situation is now at a crisis point.

"This isn't climate change anymore, this is climate chaos. And the report us the scientific understanding that underpins the climate chaos that we are observing on a daily basis."
