Global climate impacts for different emissions scenarios

This fact sheet introduces infographics created by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) based on the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). These materials, specifically from the guide 'What’s in it for Africa', are designed to help decision-makers in Africa and South Asia understand global climate impacts across different emissions scenarios.

• The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) is described as the most comprehensive assessment of climate change to date, involving 830 expert authors from 85 countries and exceeding 5,000 pages across its first three volumes.
• The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) developed two concise guides to the AR5 for decision-makers in South Asia and Africa, including infographics from a resource titled 'What’s in it for Africa'.
