People are experiencing climate change in diverse ways. It affects our health,
ability to grow food, housing, safety and work. Some of us are already more vulnerable
to climate impacts, such as people living in small island developing States. Conditions
like sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion have advanced to the point where whole
communities have had to relocate. In the future, the number of “climate refugees” is
expected to rise.

and government reviewers agreed that limiting global temperature rise to no more
than 1.5°C would help us avoid the worst climate impacts and maintain a livable
climate. Yet the current path of carbon dioxide emissions could increase global
temperature by as much as 4.4°C by the end of the century.
