IPCC AR6 WGII SPM.3 (f)

‘Burning Embers’ is a colloquial term for the diagrams that show the levels of concern that scientists have about the consequences of climate change. In particular, the diagrams show how this level of concern, expressed here as risk, increases with a given hazard such as global temperature rise. These assessments are primarily based on peer-reviewed literature, that is, it is limited to the regions and phenomena for which such studies are available.
