Document Summary
Follow-up paris agreement (2015): an ipcc special report (2018) on global warming of. The report outlines the impacts of what would happening of the rises on temperature. 2017 and onwards projections of what would the temperature rises be. Robust differences in regional climate characteristics between present-day: and global warming of 1. 5*c. Better to constrain what the future can hold for us. As we get to higher and higher temperatures, we are seeing these impacts more greyer and level of uncertainty varies (but medium - high) Wide range of projected impacts and risks to: natural, managed and human systems. Really the polar regions will be the most impacted, even with modest increases. As we move into the 2020s, emissions are reduced. Want to reduce co2 as much as possible from the atmosphere. We need to move to a setting that we are no longer setting ghg or removing them.
