IPCC WGII & III contributions to the Fifth Assessment Report - Presentation
The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) provides a clear and up to date view of the current state of scientific knowledge relevant to climate change. It comprises three Working Group (WG) reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR).
The Working Group II & III (WGII & WG III) contributions to the AR5 - Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability and Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change were launched in March and April 2014. The WG II contribution assesses risks and opportunities for societies, economies, and ecosystems around the world. The WG III contribution assesses the options for
mitigating climate change and their underlying technological, economic and institutional requirements.
