近日，中国气象局气候变化中心公布了“2021年度气候变化十大科学事件”评选结果。

Organized by the China's National Climate Center (NCC), academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, members of the National Climate Change Expert Committee, and other well-known experts selected the 10 events.

中国气象局气候变化中心在组织专家初步遴选的基础上，邀请中国科学院和中国工程院两院院士、国家气候变化专家委员会委员、国内气候变化领域知名专家，对候选事件进行了评选。

最终评选出的“2021年度气候变化十大科学事件”（top 10 scientific events related to climate change in 2021）包括：

1. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the report "Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis," pointing out unprecedented changes in the climate

1.联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会发布AR6 WGI评估报告《气候变化2021：自然科学基础》，指出许多观测到的变化前所未有

According to the report, many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion — such as continued sea level rise — are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.

报告指出，科学家们观测到的许多变化为几千年来甚至几十万年来前所未有，一些如海平面持续上升等已经开始的变化在数百到数千年内不可逆转。
