Unfairness of impacts• Uneveness spatially and temporally

• Challenges of resolution

Based on WGII Box SPM 1 Figure 1

An aggregate view• Next generation of economic estimates?

• Next generation of non-economic estimates?

Based on WGII Box SPM 1 Figure 1

Abrupt and irreversible changes

• Long timeframes, large uncertainties

Exposure

Vulnerability & Exposure• Vulnerability & exposure reduction• Low-regrets strategies & actions• Addressing multidimensional

inequalities

Risk

Risk• Risk assessment• Iterative risk management• Risk perception

SocioeconomicPathways

Socioeconomic pathways• Diverse values & objectives• Climate resilient pathways• Transformation

Adaptation andMitigation Actions

Adaptation & Interactionswith Mitigation

• Incremental & transformational adaptation

• Co-benefits, synergies, & trade-offs• Context-specific adaptation• Complementary actions

Governance

Governance• Decision- making under

uncertainty• Learning, monitoring, &

flexibility• Coordination across scales
