A "devastating" new UN report is expected to set out a stark message on runaway climate change in what the government hope will be a "wake-up call".
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, published on Monday, will be the first comprehensive assessment of scientific knowledge about the threat to the planet from human activity since 2013.
"We are in the decisive decade in our fight to avert catastrophic climate breakdown and we desperately need serious leadership," said Luke Pollard MP, shadow environment secretary.
