Résumé

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was set up jointly by the World Meteorological Organization and the UNEP to provide an authoritative international statement of scientific opinion on climate change. This book is the first of four special reports prepared by the IPCC. It reviews state-of-the-art information on potential impacts of climate change for ecological systems, water supply, food production, coastal infrastructure, human health, and other resources for ten global regions: Africa, Australasia, Latin America, North America, temperate Asia, the Arctic and the Antarctic, Europe, Middle East and arid Asia, small Island States, tropical Asia. Points to management options that would make many sectors more resilient to current variability in climate and thus help these sectors adapt to future changes in climate.
