Factsheets on Impacts, Adaptation & Vulnerability (Working Group 2)

The IPCC's Impacts, Adaptation & Vulnerability report assesses the impacts from climate change, both ones that we have already experienced and what is projected to come. The report considers who is most vulnerable to these impacts, and what options exist for responding to climate-driven changes. It shows us what adaptation responses have been effective, and where both nature and humans might face limits to adaptation in the future. 

It was released in February 2022 and is the second Working Group report to be released in the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). 

These factsheets look at the information most relevant from this report to Pacific Island Countries & Territories. There is one overview factsheet which can be found here. 

The other six factsheets are sector-specific and are grouped on the following: 

• Water & Sanitation
• Food
• Health & Wellbeing
• Infrastructure & Settlements
• Marine ecosystems and fisheries
• Disaster risk management
