Elements of a classification framework, first developed in the IPCC Third Assessment Report, which aims to facilitate judgements about what level of climate change may be dangerous (in the language of Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by aggregating risks from various sectors, considering hazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, capacities to adapt, and the resulting impacts. From Wikipedia The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has organized many of the risks of climate change into five "reasons for concern." The reasons for concern show that these risks increase with increases in the Earth's global mean temperature (i.e., global warming). The IPCC's five reasons for concern are: threats to endangered species and unique systems damages from extreme climate events effects that fall most heavily on developing countries and the poor within countries global aggregate impacts (i.e., various measurements of total social, economic and ecological impacts) large-scale high-impact events. The five reasons for concern are described in more detail in the Wikipedia page. (English)
