Linking sea level rise and socioeconomic indicators under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

This paper incorporates latest findings on Antarctic ice sheet dynamics into new sea level rise modelling, and pairs it with the new generation of scenarios – Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and compares them with outcomes for the previous generation of scenarios - Representative Concentration Pathways, used in the last IPCC Assessment.

Social vulnerability to climate change: a review of concepts and evidence

This article provides a review of recent scientific literature on social vulnerability to climate change, aiming to determine which social and demographic groups, across a wide range of geographical locations, are the most vulnerable to climate change impacts within four well-being dimensions: health, safety, food security, and displacement.

Characterising half-a-degree difference: a review of methods for identifying regional climate responses to global warming targets

Regional climate signals at specific global warming levels, and especially the differences between 1.5°C and 2°C, are not well constrained in the science. This article reviews alternative approaches for identifying regional climate signals associated with global temperature limits, and evaluates the extent to which they constitute a sound basis for impacts analysis.
