Non-technical summary
We summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding about the remaining options to achieve the Paris Agreement goals, through overcoming political barriers to carbon pricing, taking into account non-CO2 factors, a well-designed implementation of demand-side and nature-based solutions, resilience building of ecosystems and the recognition that climate change mitigation costs can be justified by benefits to the health of humans and nature alone. We consider new insights about what to expect if we fail to include a new dimension of fire extremes and the prospect of cascading climate tipping elements.
Technical summaryA synthesis is made of 10 topics within climate research, where there have been significant advances since January 2020. The insights are based on input from an international open call with broad disciplinary scope. Findings include: (1) the options to still keep global warming below 1.5 °C; (2) the impact of non-CO2 factors in global warming; (3) a new dimension of fire extremes forced by climate change; (4) the increasing pressure on interconnected climate tipping elements; (5) the dimensions of climate justice; (6) political challenges impeding the effectiveness of carbon pricing; (7) demand-side solutions as vehicles of climate mitigation; (8) the potentials and caveats of nature-based solutions; (9) how building resilience of marine ecosystems is possible; and (10) that the costs of climate change mitigation policies can be more than justified by the benefits to the health of humans and nature.

Summary
INTRODUCTION
Laparoscopy is an accepted method of treatment in gynecology, general surgery, urology, and pediatric surgery. It is generally safe, is usually well tolerated by patients, and, when compared to its open surgical counterpart, offers the advantages of less postoperative pain, reduced surgical trauma, and a shortened postoperative hospital stay. However, as with any surgical procedure, laparoscopy has technique-related complications. One of these complications is major vascular injury (MVI), of which consequences can be quite serious. Injuries to the large vessels (aorta, vena cava, iliac vessels, and mesenteric vessels) are commonly referred to as MVI and occur in a variety of laparoscopic fields (see Figure 20.1.1, Table 20.1.1). Many of these injuries occur while inserting the Veress needle and/or trocars through the abdominal wall and, as a result, do not occur in conventional procedures. While the reported incidence may be low, ranging from 0.05% to 0.14%, the mortality arising from these injuries is substantially higher and has been reported to reach up to 17% (see Table 20.1.2). Therefore, the rare occurrence of MVI carries with it the risk of a potentially catastrophic outcome.
INCIDENCE
MVI can occur in laparoscopic surgery during the early maneuvers required to enter the peritoneal cavity, or during the surgical dissection required for the specific procedure.
