SREX: Lessons for the agricultural sector

This briefing introduces a thematic summary of the IPCC's Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), specifically focusing on lessons and immediate actions for the agricultural sector to build resilience against climate extremes.

• The Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) was commissioned by the IPCC to provide specific guidance on climate change, extreme weather, and climate events. The report was the result of a two-and-a-half-year process involving 220 expert authors and 19 review editors, incorporating almost 19,000 comments and three drafting cycles before being approved by world governments.
• The thematic brief 'Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters in the Agricultural Sector: Lessons from the IPCC SREX Report' is designed for local, national, and regional policy makers and planners. It focuses on the science and societal implications of climate extremes for the agricultural sector to encourage immediate action for damage avoidance and resilience building.
