IPCC Report 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
2022-02-28
The Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities at global and regional levels. It also reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits of the natural world and human societies to adapt to climate change:
"The cumulative scientific evidence is unequivocal: Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health. Any further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all." The report takes an integrative view on global challenges as well as on possible solutions. The presentation of the report summarizes the important messages, the report documents - from the 36-pages for policy makers to the full report with 3675 pages - are available here:
