Abstract (AI)
This latest Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will again form the standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including students and researchers in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology and atmospheric chemistry. It provides invaluable material for decision makers and stakeholders: international, national, local; and in all branches: government, businesses, and NGOs. This volume provides: • An authoritative and unbiased overview of the physical science basis of climate change • A more extensive assessment of changes observed throughout the climate system than ever before • New dedicated chapters on sea-level change, biogeochemical cycles, clouds and aerosols, and regional climate phenomena • A more extensive coverage of model projections, both near-term and long-term climate projections • A detailed assessment of climate change observations, modelling, and attribution for every continent • A new comprehensive atlas of global and regional climate projections for 35 regions of the world
Key Findings
1
It delivers detailed assessments of climate observations, modelling, and attribution for every continent to inform decision makers and stakeholders.
2
It presents a more extensive assessment of observed changes throughout the climate system than previous reports.
3
New dedicated chapters address sea-level change, biogeochemical cycles, clouds and aerosols, and regional climate phenomena.
4
The report provides an authoritative and unbiased overview of the physical science basis of climate change.
5
The volume offers more extensive coverage of both near-term and long-term climate model projections, including a comprehensive atlas for 35 world regions.
