The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report today that says the effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans. The world, in many cases, is ill-prepared for risks from a changing climate. The report also concludes that there are opportunities to respond to such risks, though the risks will be difficult to manage with high levels of warming.
This second part of the most-awaited IPCC's fifth assessment of climate change focuses on the climate impacts and how the world might adapt. It details the impacts of climate change to date, the future risks from a changing climate, and the opportunities for effective action to reduce risks. Read the summary of this report for policymakers.
