This report provides a snapshot of recent scientific literature and new analyses of likely impacts and risks that would be associated with a 4°C warming within this century.

Sea-level rise is a critical and uncertain climate change risk, involving timescales of centuries.

This paper introduces a new approach to probabilistic projections of regional climate change.

This paper shows that ambitious global greenhouse gas mitigation action in a transparent and effective international climate regime is of great importance to Least Developed Countries.

The Review to be held from 2013–2015 is a key mechanism to assess the adequacy of the long-term global goal, with a view to strengthening the goal to keep long-term increase in temperature to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

This paper reviews the scientific literature on impacts for 1.5 and 2°C warming levels with focus on risks for Least Developed Countries. We summarise observed impacts in LDCs that have been related to global mean temperature and provide an overview of projected future changes.
