ABSTRACT

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.

It builds upon the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment
Report, the three Special Reports of the Sixth Assessment cycle: ‘Global Warming
of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above
pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in
the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate
change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (SR1.5)’;
‘Climate Change and Land: An IPCC Special Report on climate change,
desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security,
and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems (SRCCL)’; ‘IPCC Special
Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC)’, and the
Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.

The report recognizes the interactions of climate, ecosystems and biodiversity,
and human societies, and integrates knowledge more strongly across the natural,
ecological, social and economic sciences than earlier IPCC assessments. The
assessment of climate change impacts and risks as well as adaptation is set
against concurrently unfolding non-climatic global trends e.g., biodiversity
loss, overall unsustainable consumption of natural resources, land and ecosystem
degradation, rapid urbanisation, human demographic shifts, social and economic
inequalities and a pandemic.

Working Group II introduces several new components in its latest report: These
include the novel cross-chapter papers which provide focused assessments and
updates from the special reports and include coverage of topics such as
biodiversity hotspots, cities and settlements by the sea, deserts and
desertification, mountains, tropical forests as well as the Mediterranean and
polar regions. Another new component is an atlas that presents data and findings
on observed climate change impacts and projected risks from global to regional
scales, thus offering even more insights for decision makers. The Working Group
II Report is based on the published scientific and technical literature accepted
for publication by 1 September 2021.

Scope of the Report:

During the process of scoping and approving the outline of its Sixth Assessment
Report, the IPCC focussed on those aspects of the current knowledge of climate
change that were judged to be most relevant to policymakers. In this report,
Working Group II examines the impacts of climate change on nature and people
around the globe. It explores future impacts at different levels of warming and
the resulting risks, and offers options to strengthen nature’s and society’s
resilience to ongoing climate change, to fight hunger, poverty, and inequality
and keep Earth a place worth living on – for current as well as for future
generations.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC)

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading
international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) 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.
