In this document, the Climate Media Center Italia and the National Research Council summarize in simple, accessible language the contents of the IPCC Working Group I report on climate change, published in August 2021, allowing adults and children to better understand what climate changes are already underway, what we can expect in the coming years, and how we can help limit future changes
