- Reduced rainfall & increased evaporation resulting in: rising costs, shortages of drinking water, reduced agricultural yields, increased threat of disease, increased mortality, displacement of people.
- Increase in arid land areas resulting in: reduced agricultural yields, food shortages, displacement of people.
- Reduced agricultural yields resulting in: rising costs, food shortages, increased malnutrition and displacement of people.
- Reduced availability of fishing resources resulting in: food shortages, displacement of people.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas.
- Increased extreme weather events resulting in: damage to person and to property.
- Reduced river flows as a result of receding glaciers resulting in: shortages of drinking water, increased threat of disease, increased mortality, displacement of people.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas and delta regions in South, East and Southeast Asia.
- Reduced freshwater availability resulting in: rising costs, shortages of drinking water, reduced agricultial yields.
- Reduced agricultural crop yields in Central and South Asia resulting in: rising costs, food shortages, increased malnutrition, increased mortaility, displacement of people.
- Increased agricultural crop yields in East and South East Asia resulting in: increased food production.
- Increased extreme weather events resulting in: damage to person and to property.
- Reduced rainfall & increased evaporaton in southern and eastern Australia and in New Zealand resulting in: rising costs, shortages of drinking water, reduced agricultural yields, increased threat of disease and displacement of people.
- Reduced agricultural yields in southern & eastern Australia and in eastern New Zealand resulting in: rising costs, food shortages, increased malnutrition and displacement of people.
- Increased salinisation resulting in: increased arid land areas and reduced agricultural yields.
- Loss of biodiversity significant loss of biodiversity and the risk of extinction of species.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas.
- Increased extreme weather events resulting in: damage to person and to property.
- Glacier retreat resulting in: reduced winter tourism.
- Flash floods resulting in: damage to person and property.
- Reduced rainfall in southern and central Europe resulting in: shortages of drinking water, reduced ability to generate hydroelectric power, increased threat of disease, increased mortality, displacement of people.
- Increased agricultural crop yields in Northern Europe resulting in: increased food production.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas.
- Reduced rainfall & increased evaporation resulting in: rising costs, shortages of drinking water, reduced agricultural yields, increased threat of disease, increased motality, displacement of people.
- Reduced river flows as a result of receding glaciers resulting in: shortages of drinking water, reduced ability to generate hydroelectric power, increased threat of disease, increased mortality, displacement of people.
- Reduction of tropical rain forest resulting in: loss of biodiversity.
- Increased agricultural crop yields in temperature zones resulting in: increased food production.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas.
- Increased extreme weather events resulting in: damage to person and to property.
- Increased agricultural crop yields resulting in: increased food production.
- Reduced river flows as a result of receding glaciers resulting in: shortages of drinking water, reduced water availability for agricultural purposes.
- Increased extreme weather events in particular increased heat waves resulting in: adverse health impacts.
- Sea level rise resulting in: displacement of people living in low lying coastal areas.
