IPCC AR6 WGII SPM.4 (b)

This dataset shows selected climate responses and adaptation options, organized by System Transitions, and assessed at global scale for their likely ability to reduce risks for ecosystems and social groups at risk, as well as their relation with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate responses and adaptation options are assessed for observed benefits to ecosystems and their services, ethnic groups, gender equity, and low-income groups, or observed dis-benefits for these systems and groups. Where there is highly diverging evidence of benefits/ dis-benefits across the scientific literature, e.g., based on differences between regions, it is shown as not clear or mixed. The relation with the SDGs is assessed as having benefits, dis-benefits or not clear or mixed based on the impacts of the climate response and adaptation option on each SDG. Empty areas indicate there is no evidence of a relation or no interaction with the respective SDG. The climate responses and adaptation options are drawn from two assessments. For comparability of climate responses and adaptation options see AR6 WGII Table SM17.5.
