This guide introduces a publication by CDKN, ODI, SSN, and ICLEI that distils findings from the IPCC's September 2019 Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate specifically for the South Asia region.

This guide, prepared by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), Overseas Development Institute (ODI), and SouthSouthNorth (SSN), translates the findings of the 2019 IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate specifically for African policymakers. It details how human-induced climate change is altering ocean chemistry and temperature, accelerating sea-level rise, and melting high-mountain glaciers, all of which threaten marine biodiversity, food security, and coastal infrastructure across the African continent.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics summarizes the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, detailing the accelerating degradation of polar regions, oceans, and mountain ecosystems. It highlights the irreversible nature of some changes, the risks to global sea levels and water security, and the resulting threats to biodiversity and human livelihoods.

This guide, published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) in 2019, translates the findings of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate for decision-makers in Latin America. It details how human-induced climate change is altering ocean chemistry and temperature, accelerating sea-level rise, and melting high-mountain glaciers, with specific focus on the Humboldt Current and the Andean region. The document emphasizes that while some changes are now inevitable, urgent mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and early investment in adaptation and resilient coastal development are critical to reducing future risks and costs.

This guide, produced by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), Overseas Development Institute (ODI), and SouthSouthNorth (SSN), distils the 2019 IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate specifically for African decision-makers. It details how human-induced warming is altering ocean chemistry and temperature, accelerating sea level rise, and melting high mountain frozen lands, all of which threaten African ecosystems, food security, and coastal livelihoods.

This guide, published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) in 2019, distils the findings of the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate specifically for decision-makers in Latin America. It details the physical changes occurring in the oceans and high mountain frozen lands, the resulting risks to marine life and human societies, and the necessity of integrating mitigation, adaptation, and inclusive governance to build climate resilience in the region.

This guide, published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) in 2019, distils the findings of the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate specifically for decision-makers in South Asia. It details the physical changes occurring in the oceans and high mountain frozen lands, the resulting risks to ecosystems and human livelihoods, and the necessity of integrating mitigation, adaptation, and transformative governance to build regional resilience.
