Adapting to climate change – be prepared


Global temperature rise by the end of the 21st century is likely to be around 3ºC (relative to pre-industrial levels) even with full implementation of COP21 countries' pledges. While we should make every effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we also need to be prepared for the impacts of a warmer world, such as more extreme heat, more extreme rainfall and higher sea level.
