IPCC: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability

DateMonday, March 31, 2014
Topic Economy [2] Governance [3] Greenhouse Gas Emissions & Climate Change [4] Population, Settlements & Migration [5]

The IPCC has today published its latest report 'Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability' as part of the suite of products for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).

The IPCC aims to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.

"Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change". Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman, IPCC.

The report, based on more than 12,000 peer reviewed scientific studies, considers the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems, the observed impacts and future risks of climate change, and the potential for and limits to adaptation. The chapters of the report assess risks and opportunities for societies, economies, and ecosystems around the world.

A summary for policy makers is available at http://ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5/images/uploads/IPCC_WG2AR5_SPM_Approved.pdf (circa 13MB).
