Description
The Working Group II Report has twenty chapters. The core chapters (316) address the future impacts of climate change on sectors and regions, the potential for adaptation and the implications for sustainability. Chapter 1 looks at observed changes and Chapter 2 assesses new methodologies and the characterisation of future conditions. Chapters 17-20 assess responses to impacts through adaptation (17), the interrelationships between adaptation and mitigation (18), key vulnerabilities and risks (19) and, finally, perspectives on climate change and sustainability (20).
The Working Group II Fourth Assessment, in common with all IPCC reports, has been produced through an open and peerreviewed process. It builds upon past assessments and IPCC Special Reports, and incorporates the results of the past 5 years of climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability research. Each chapter presents a balanced assessment of the literature which has appeared since the Third Assessment Report'(TAR), including non-English language and, where appropriate,'grey'literature. 2
