Vehicles jam a national highway alongside a public commuter train (L) during rush hour in Manila May 2, 2007. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will issue a report in Bangkok on May 4 showing the fight against climate change won t be a big brake on economic growth and that the world has the tools at hand. A draft of the report, which draws on research by 2, 500 scientists from more than 130 countries, looks at how governments and businesses can cut emissions and says tackling climate change should be viewed as a global economic problem, not just an environmental headache.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene on a national highway in Manila during rush hour. The image showcases a sea of vehicles jammed alongside a public commuter train, depicting the daily struggle faced by commuters in this bustling city. Taken on May 2,2007, this snapshot coincides with an important event that will shape global perspectives on climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is set to release a groundbreaking report in Bangkok just two days after this photo was taken. This report aims to dispel the notion that combating climate change will hinder economic growth and highlights the availability of effective tools to address this pressing issue. Drawing upon extensive research conducted by over 2,500 scientists from more than 130 countries, it emphasizes that governments and businesses must work together to reduce emissions. Furthermore, the report urges us to view climate change as not only an environmental concern but also as a global economic problem. It underscores the need for collective action and innovative solutions from all sectors of society. Through its composition and timing, this photograph serves as a powerful visual reminder of why addressing climate change is crucial for cities like Manila and beyond. As we reflect upon these images captured by Cheryl Ravelo for Reuters Images, let us recognize our shared responsibility in creating sustainable futures for generations to come.
