Climate Change 2022 - Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Summary for Policymakers

Abstract

This Summary for policymakers (SPM) presents key findings of the Working Group PP (WGII) contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the IPCC. This report builds on the WGII contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC, three special reports and the Working group I (WGI) contribution tot he AR6 cycle. This report recognizes the interdependence 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.
