Climate change observations show the warming of the climate system. The changes since the 1950s are unprecedented over decades to millennia.The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen. The anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems. There is an urgant need for climate action through mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation actions prevent or reduce the emission of greenhuse gases into the atmoshpere with the objective to make the impacts of climate change less severe. Adapting to climate change increases our resilience to impacts like extreme weather events (e.g. hazards like floods and droughts) that get more frequent and intense in many regions. Current climate change will get worse in the future even if the reduction of emissions is effective with negative effects on ecosystems, economy, human health and well-being. There is extensive need for actions to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
