About the report

Working Group II: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability

Part of the sixth assessment report delivered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Working Group II contribution assesses global and local impacts of climate change on ecosystems, biodiversity, societies, cultures and settlements. It further addresses the vulnerabilities, capabilities and limits of the natural world and societies to adapt, and informs efforts to reduce climate-associated risk.

This builds on the published Working Group I contribution on the physical basis of climate change, and not-yet released Working Group III contribution on climate change mitigation.
