{3.2.2, 3.2.3, 5.2.3}, B.5.4 Ocean warming, oxygen loss, acidification and a decrease in flux of organic carbon from the surface to the deep ocean are projected to harm habitat-forming cold-water corals, which support high biodiversity, partly through decreased calcification, increased dissolution of skeletons, and bioerosion (medium confidence). For example, there is evidence to suggest that droughts as severe as the âdust bowlâ of the 1930s were much more common in the central United States during the 10th to 14th centuries than they have been in the more recent record. The capacity of organisms and ecosystems to adjust and adapt is higher at lower emissions scenarios (high confidence). The cryosphere refers to frozen components of the Earth system, . The assessment of risk transitions is described in Chapter 5 Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.2.5 and 5.3.7 and Supplementary Materials SM5.3, Table SM5.6, Table SM5.8 and other parts of the underlying report. Ambitious adaptation including transformative governance is expected to reduce risk (high confidence), but with context-specific benefits. A multi-round expert elicitation process was undertaken with independent evaluation of threshold judgement, and a final consensus discussion. Together, these actions also have multiple other benefits, such as providing storm protection, improving water quality, and benefiting biodiversity and fisheries (high confidence). {1.1, 2.1, 3.1, Cross-Chapter Box 9, Figure 2.1}Â, In addition to their role within the climate system, such as the uptake and redistribution of natural and anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat, as well as ecosystem support, services provided to people by the ocean and/or cryosphere include food and water supply, renewable energy, and benefits for health and well-being, cultural values, tourism, trade, and transport. Under the same assumptions, annual coastal flood damages are projected to increase by 2â3 orders of magnitude by 2100 compared to today (, ). For example, coral reef restoration options may be ineffective if global warming exceeds 1.5°C, because corals are already at high risk (very high confidence) at current levels of warming. NRCC supports a three-tiered national climate services support program. A.1. Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphereâusually within cloudsâand then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes. Projected changes in waves and tides vary locally in whether they amplify or ameliorate these hazards (medium confidence). Warming and sea ice changes are projected to increase marine net primary production in the Arctic (medium confidence) and around Antarctica (low confidence), modified by changing nutrient supply due to shifts in upwelling and stratification. Mean sea level rise projections are higher by 0.1 m compared to AR5 under RCP8.5 in 2100, and the likely range extends beyond 1 m in 2100 due to a larger projected ice loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (medium confidence). The dominant cause of global mean sea level rise since 1970 is anthropogenic forcing (, ) due to the combined increased ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (, ). "My students can't get enough of your charts and their results have gone through the roof." Risks under RCPs 4.5 and 6.0 were not assessed due to a lack of literature for the assessed geographies. While the relative importance of climate-driven sea level rise is projected to increase over time, local processes need to be considered for projections and impacts of sea level (, ). {3.2.3, 5.2.2, Box 5.1, Box 5.3, Figure SPM.1}, ). Increases in tropical cyclone winds and rainfall, and increases in extreme waves, combined with relative sea level rise, exacerbate extreme sea level events and coastal hazards (high confidence). A.7. A loss of oxygen has occurred from the surface to 1000 m (medium confidence). Permafrost thaw and glacier retreat have decreased the stability of high-mountain slopes (, ). The full titles of these two Special Reports are: âGlobal Warming of 1.5°C. {3.5.2, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.5.2, 5.5.3, 6.4.2, Figure SPM.3}, B.8.2 The decline in warm-water coral reefs is projected to greatly compromise the services they provide to society, such as food provision (high confidence), coastal protection (high confidence) and tourism (medium confidence). Projections presented in (b) and (c) are driven by changes in ocean physical and biogeochemical conditions e.g., temperature, oxygen level, and net primary production projected from CMIP5 Earth system models. Since about 1950 many marine species across various groups have undergone shifts in geographical range and seasonal activities in response to ocean warming, sea ice change and biogeochemical changes, such as oxygen loss, to their habitats (high confidence). {1.1, 1.5, 3.2.1, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, Figure SPM.2}, A.8.1 Warming-induced changes in the spatial distribution and abundance of some fish and shellfish stocks have had positive and negative impacts on catches, economic benefits, livelihoods, and local culture (high confidence). {5.2.2, Figure SPM.1}, B.2.2 By 2081â2100 under RCP8.5, ocean oxygen content (medium confidence), upper ocean nitrate content (medium confidence), net primary production (low confidence) and carbon export (medium confidence) are projected to decline globally by very likely ranges of 3â4%, 9â14%, 4â11% and 9-16% respectively, relative to 2006â2015. {1.1, 1.4â1.7, Cross-Chapter Boxes 1â3 in Chapter 1, 2.3.1, 2.4, Box 3.2, Figure 3.4, Cross-Chapter Box 7 in Chapter 3, 3.4.3, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.3.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.6, 5.4.2, 5.5.3, 6.9.2, Cross-Chapter Box 9, Figure SPM.5}, C.4.2 Intensifying cooperation and coordination among governing authorities across scales, jurisdictions, sectors, policy domains and planning horizons can enable effective responses to changes in the ocean, cryosphere and to sea level rise (high confidence). {3.4.3, 5.4.2, 6.4.2}, B.8.3 Global warming compromises seafood safety (medium confidence) through human exposure to elevated bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants and mercury in marine plants and animals (medium confidence), increasing prevalence of waterborne Vibrio pathogens (medium confidence), and heightened likelihood of harmful algal blooms (medium confidence). Humans were unable to predict when a storm or drought would strike, and thus ascribed moral and religious reasons for variations in the weather. Additional terms (extremely likely 95â100%, more likely than not >50â100%, more unlikely than likely 0â<50%, extremely unlikely 0â5%) are used when appropriate. {3.3.1, 4.2.3, Appendix 2.A, Figure SPM.1}, A.1.2  Arctic June snow cover extent on land declined by 13.4 ± 5.4% per decade from 1967 to 2018, a total loss of approximately 2.5 million km2, predominantly due to surface air temperature increase (high confidence). The geographical range of Arctic marine species, including marine mammals, birds and fish is projected to contract, while the range of some sub-Arctic fish communities is projected to expand, further increasing pressure on high-Arctic species (medium confidence). and the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Challenges to fisheries governance are widespread under RCP8.5 with regional hotspots such as the Arctic and tropical Pacific Ocean (medium confidence). (, ). The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is projected to weaken (very likely). Anthropogenic climate change may have contributed to a poleward migration of maximum tropical cyclone intensity in the western North Pacific in recent decades related to anthropogenically-forced tropical expansion (low confidence). {3.2, 5.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, Box 5.1, Figures SPM.1, SPM.3}, B.2.1 The ocean will continue to warm throughout the 21st century (virtually certain). Changes in the seasonal activities, production and distribution of some Arctic zooplankton and a southward shift in the distribution of the Antarctic krill population in the South Atlantic are associated with climate-linked environmental changes (, ). {2.3.3, 3.2.3, 3.3.2, 3.5.4, 5.5.2, Box 3.4}, Terrestrial and marine habitat restoration, and ecosystem management tools such as assisted species relocation and coral gardening, can be locally effective in enhancing ecosystem-based adaptation (, ). {4.3.2, 4.4.2, Box 4.1, Cross-Chapter Box 9, Figure SPM.5}, Some coastal accommodation measures, such as early warning systems and flood-proofing of buildings, are often both low cost and highly cost-efficient under current sea levels (, ). For ocean regions, the confidence level refers to the confidence in attributing observed changes to changes in greenhouse gas forcing for physical changes and to climate change for ecosystem, human systems, and ecosystem services. The intensity of marine heatwaves is projected to increase about 10-fold under RCP8.5 by 2081â2100, relative to 1850â1900 (, increase in frequency in the 21st century and to, intensify existing hazards, with drier or wetter responses in several regions across the globe. Such investments can develop, and in many cases transform existing institutions and enable informed, interactive and adaptive governance arrangements (high confidence). Diversification of tourism activities throughout the year supports adaptation in high mountain economies (medium confidence). {2.3.3, Box 3.4, 3.4.3}, B.4.1 In high mountain regions, further upslope migration by lower-elevation species, range contractions, and increased mortality will lead to population declines of many alpine species, especially glacier- or snow-dependent species (high confidence), with local and eventual global species loss (medium confidence). Where space is limited, and the value of exposed assets is high (e.g., in cities), hard protection (e.g., dikes) is, to be a cost-efficient response option during the 21st century taking into account the specifics of the context (, ), but resource-limited areas may not be able to afford such investments. Its share increased to 45â62% between 2005 and 2017 (, ). Specific activities include utilization of multiple knowledge systems and regional climate information into decision making, and the engagement of local communities, Indigenous peoples, and relevant stakeholders in adaptive governance arrangements and planning frameworks (medium confidence). The warming from the 1850â1900 period until 2006â2015 has been assessed as 0.87°C (0.75 to 0.99°C likely range). 5.2.4, Figure SPM.1}, B.5.3 Warming, ocean acidification, reduced seasonal sea ice extent and continued loss of multi-year sea ice are projected to impact polar marine ecosystems through direct and indirect effects on habitats, populations and their viability (medium confidence). Tourism and recreation, including ski and glacier tourism, hiking, and mountaineering, have also been negatively impacted in many mountain regions (medium confidence). {1.8.1, 1.9.2, 4.2.3, 4.4.4, Figure 4.2, Cross-Chapter Box 5 in Chapter 1, Figure SPM.5, SPM B3}, Figure SPM.5 | Sea level rise risks and responses. {5.3.1}, A.6.3 The impacts of sea level rise on coastal ecosystems include habitat contraction, geographical shift of associated species, and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. Prolonged periods of high environmental temperature and dehydration of the organisms pose high risk to rocky shore ecosystems (high confidence). Such changes would be in addition to the global warming signal. The human communities who are more vulnerable to these biological hazards are those in areas without sustained monitoring programs and dedicated early warning systems for harmful algal blooms (medium confidence). Some browning areas in tundra and boreal forest are indicative that productivity has decreased (high confidence). For a high emissions scenario (RCP8.5), projections of global sea level rise by 2100 are greater than in AR5 due to a larger contribution from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (medium confidence).
