Summary For All: How to Adapt to a Changing Climate

“Summary For All: How to Adapt to a Changing Climate” is the second summary of the report of Working Group II of the Sixth evaluation cycle of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that the IAI makes available to the public in Spanish. The document summarizes the key findings on adaptation to climate change.

The document explains how taking action today and planning for future actions can help reduce current climate impacts and prepare us to face future risks. Explains key scientific concepts to inform decision-makers and the general public who are looking for concrete actions to adapt to climate change.

In a warming world, adaptation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are prioritized to ensure a fit future for all and enable inclusive development. The report examines the adaptation measures that have been taken, are possible, and can be applied in different sectors in different regions of the world.

The report shows some progress in adaptation but also indicates that adaptation cannot prevent all loss and damage, especially if emissions of polluting gases are not reduced. Measures to reduce the risks of climate change have additional benefits for people and ecosystems.
