Some key impacts of climate change

Food

Rising temperatures and intensified weather extremes will pressure food production systems, undermining food security.

Water

Climate change is impacting water security, increasing both extreme high and extreme low water flows in some regions.

Health

The health risks of extreme heat rise dramatically with warming – in Europe impacts at 3°C could be triple what they are at 1.5°C.

Climate change is changing how diseases like malaria spread, endangering new populations.

Ecosystems

Tropical Coral Reefs will decline substantially by 1.5°C of warming and could be virtually lost by 2°C warming.

At 2°C of warming, up to 18% of species on land could face a very high risk of extinction, and up to 29% at 3°C.

Extreme weather

The intensity of many weather extremes rises with temperatures, e.g., the intensity of extreme rainfall rises by ~7% for every degree Celsius of warming.

Economy

The economic impacts of climate change are expected to rise dramatically with warming.

Security

Climate change increases risks of violent conflict through climate extremes and impacts on water and food security.
