• Resumen

  • Be prepared--for anything. That will be the message of the next report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), its first attempt in seven years to forecast the impact of climate change on specific geographical regions. Due out in March 2014, it will emphasize versatility over any fine-tuned mitigation measures. Building on the IPCC's October 2013 report on the latest climate science, the Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability report is designed to predict how those global trends will change the areas people live in--as well as wildlife, water supplies, flooding, food and national economies. Here, Pearce features drafts of the report which suggest that, in some cases, it will deliver.
