IPCC AR6 WGII SPM.4 (a)

This dataset shows selected responses and adaptation options, organized by System Transitions and Representative Key Risks (RKRs) and assessed for their multidimensional feasibility at global scale, in the near term and up to 1.5°C global warming. As literature above 1.5°C is limited, feasibility at higher levels of warming may change, which is currently not possible to assess robustly. Climate responses and adaptation options at global scale are drawn from a set of options assessed in AR6 that have robust evidence across the feasibility dimensions. The data shows the six feasibility dimensions (economic, technological, institutional, social, environmental and geophysical) that are used to calculate the potential feasibility of climate responses and adaptation options, along with their synergies with mitigation. For potential feasibility and feasibility dimensions, the data shows high, medium, or low feasibility. Synergies with mitigation are identified as high, medium, and low.
