The use of 'as such' in this sentence

[sharifhs]

Hello there,

I can't understand whether the sentence below and the use of "as such" there is correct or not. Is anybody here to make me understand as I'm very weak in English grammer?

"Released by the Government today, it illustrates a rise in global average temperature of four degrees Centigrade by 2060, and as such represents a dramatic acceleration of previous forecasts made as recently as 2007 by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."

The use of “as such” in this sentence is appropriate. “As such” is used to refer to the condition of something or the way that it is. Here are some other simpler examples that may aid in your understanding of usage:

The field is muddy today, and as such it cannot be used for play.

He does not have any experience with driving; as such we must watch him closely.

I hope this is helpful.
