The World Intellectual Property Organization is out with its second edition of the "Green Technology Book," and this time it's all about climate change.

The book, which has been out since its first edition in 2014, focuses on technologies that could help mitigate the effects of climate change, and it's out in six languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Chinese, reports the New York Times.

"Through the lens of innovative technologies, we are not merely turning pages; we are writing a transformative narrative, towards a greener, more resilient future for all," says Rajiv Garg, acting director of the United Nations Climate Technology Centre and Network, which helped create the book.

Among the findings: There is an "urgent need for further research and development in climate technologies in these sectors," and the "vast majority of climate technologies needed to halve emissions by 2030 are already available."
