![]() ![]() Human activity has warmed the world by about 1☌ since pre-industrial times, and the impacts of this warming have already been felt in many parts of the world. The size and duration of an overshoot will also affect future impacts. The consequences of temporarily overshooting 1.5☌ of warming and returning to this level later in the century, for example, could be larger than if temperature stabilizes below 1.5☌. Limiting warming to 1.5☌ rather than 2☌ can help reduce these risks, but the impacts the world experiences will depend on the specific greenhouse gas emissions ‘pathway’ taken. An average warming of 1.5☌ across the whole globe raises the risk of heatwaves and heavy rainfall events, amongst many other potential impacts. However, they are not spread uniformly across the globe, and different parts of the world experience impacts differently. Summary : The impacts of climate change are being felt in every inhabited continent and in the oceans. Zougmoré (Burkina Faso, Mali)įAQ 3.1: What are the Impacts of 1.5☌ and 2☌ of Warming?
