IPCC WGII Asessment Report 5 Technical Summary , 2014
Human interference with the climate system is occurring.Climate change poses risks for human and natural systems. The assessment of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (WGII AR5) evaluates how patterns of risks and potential benefits are shifting due to climate change and how risks can be reduced through mitigation and adaptation. It recognizes that risks of climate change will vary across regions and populations, through space and time, dependent on myriad factors including the extent of mitigation and adaptation"
Human interference with the climate system is occurring. [WGI AR5 2.2, 6.3, 10.3-6, 10.9] Climate change poses risks for human and natural systems (Figure TS.1). The assessment of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (WGII AR5) evaluates how patterns of risks and potential benefits are shifting due to climate change and how risks can be reduced through mitigation and adaptation. It recognizes that risks of climate change will vary across regions and populations, through space and time, dependent on myriad factors including the extent of mitigation and adaptation.

AIACC Working Papers, published on-line by Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change (AIACC), is a series of papers and paper abstracts written by researchers participating in the AIACC project. Papers published in AIACC Working Papers have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication in the on-line series as being (i) fundamentally sound in their methods and implementation, (ii) informative about the methods and/or findings of new research, and (iii) clearly written for a broad, multidisciplinary audience. The purpose of the series is to circulate results and descriptions of methodologies from the AIACC project and elicit feedback to the authors.
IPCC Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability: Summary for Policymakers
IPCC WGII AR5 Summary for Policymakers, 2014
Human interference with the climate system is occurring,and climate change poses risks for human and natural systems. The assessment of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (WGII AR5) evaluates how patterns of risks and potential benefits are shifting due to climate change. It considers how impacts and risks related to climate change can be reduced and managed through adaptation and mitigation. The report assesses needs, options, opportunities, constraints, resilience, limits, and other aspects associated with adaptation.

Summary Over the past two decades, a multitude of studies have been conducted aimed at analysing the possible effects of climate change on a range of natural and social systems, and at identifying and evaluating options to respond to these effects. These studies have highlighted differences in what is termed “vulnerability” to climate change between systems, although without necessarily defining vulnerability.

To successfully and effectively meet the challenges caused and intensified by climate change we inevitably need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). We also have to cope, respond and adapt to its negative impacts; these are two sides of the same coin! It is vital that all societal actors collaborate in mitigating a further warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. However since carbon dioxide is a long-lived forcer, we must acknowledge that the changes already occurring are very likely to be further aggravated over time. In many instances this will negatively affect societal activities and physical structures negatively particularly those that are generally sensitive to other types of stressors. Over time, the need for adaptation to the effects of climate change will grow. Here organisations, such as local governments and municipal departments will have a key role; not only because they are responsible for handling physical structures and caring for socially vulnerable people such as ...
