SREX: Lessons for ecosystems

This policy brief introduces a thematic summary of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), specifically focusing on lessons and findings relevant to ecosystems.

• The SREX report was a comprehensive scientific assessment commissioned by the IPCC to provide specific guidance on climate change, extreme weather, and climate events. The report's development involved 220 expert authors and 19 review editors over two and a half years, incorporating nearly 19,000 comments and undergoing three drafting processes with government and expert review. It consists of a policy summary from November 2011 and a full report from March 2012.
• The accompanying thematic brief, 'Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters for Ecosystems: Lessons from the IPCC SREX report', is designed for local, national, and regional policy makers, decision takers, and planners. It focuses on the science and implications for sustainable development and society, aiming to provide immediate actions to prevent damage and increase resilience beyond ecosystems.
