A Region at Risk: The Human Dimensions of Climate Change in Asia and the Pacific
Research, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact | June 2019
Abstract
Asia and the Pacifi c continues to be exposed to climate change impacts. Home to the majority of the world’s poor, the population of the region is particularly vulnerable to those impacts. Unabated warming could largely diminish previous achievements of economic development and improvements, putting the future of the region at risk. Read the most recent projections pertaining to climate change and climate change impacts in Asia and the Pacifi c, and the consequences of these changes to human systems, particularly for developing countries. This report also highlights gaps in the existing knowledge and identifi es avenues for continued research
