3.3 Impacts of future climate changes

More specific information is now available across a wide range of systems and sectors concerning the nature of future impacts, including some fields not covered in previous assessments. {WGII TS.4, SPM}

The following is a selection of key findings^[14] regarding the impacts of climate change on systems, sectors and regions, as well as some findings on vulnerability^[15], for the range of climate changes projected over the 21^st century. Unless otherwise stated, the confidence level in the projections is high. Global average temperature increases are given relative to 1980-1999. Additional information on impacts can be found in the WG II report. {WGII SPM}
