Abstract
Human-induced climate change, including more frequent and intense extreme weather events, has already caused widespread adverse impacts to nature and people, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Some of the changes experienced today are already irreversible and disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations.1 Approximately 3.3 to 3.6 billion people live in areas and situations that are highly vulnerable to climate change and the IPCC warns that even 1.5°C of warming, which is what the governments are aiming for, would be extremely dangerous and will present numerous risks to ecosystems and humans. Actions taken in this decade will be critical in determining the extent of global warming for the centuries to come.
