Working Group II Co-Chair Hans-Otto Pörtner said: “Healthy ecosystems are more resilient to climate change and provide life-critical services such as food and clean water. This report also examines possible nature-based solutions. Progress on adaptation, however, has been uneven with the gaps between what is needed and what has been achieved largest among lower-income populations. ‘This report integrates natural, social and economic sciences more strongly than earlier IPCC assessments’ “It emphasizes the urgency of immediate and more ambitious action to address climate risks. IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee said: “This report recognizes the interdependence of climate, biodiversity and people and integrates natural, social and economic sciences more strongly than earlier IPCC assessments. Even temporarily exceeding this warming level will result in additional severe impacts, some of which will be irreversible.” Weather extremes are occurring simultaneously, causing cascading impacts that are increasingly difficult to manage and expose millions of people to acute food and water insecurity – especially in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, on small island nations and in the Arctic.Īn IPCC news release summarizing the report’s findings says: “The world faces unavoidable multiple climate hazards over the next two decades with global warming of 1.5☌. The IPCC’s Working Group II report on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, published today, says increased heatwaves, droughts and floods “are already exceeding plants’ and animals’ tolerance thresholds, driving mass mortalities in trees and corals.”
