1.2˚C of warming has already resulted in devastating impacts for people and the planet. And these impacts hit some of us harder.
According to the latest IPCC report on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, around 3.3 to 3.6 billion people live in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change. The report also says that 50-75% of the world population can be exposed to periods of “life-threatening climatic conditions” by 2100, especially connected to exacerbated heat and rainfall.
Food production is very negatively impacted by global heating. Grain yields, for example, face a decrease in production. Food insecurity and water shortage can lead to humanitarian crises, conflict and displacement, unequally affecting different areas of the world – disproportionate impacts are being witnessed especially in parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, small islands and the Arctic.
1.2°C的升温已经对人类和地球造成了毁灭性的影响。而这些影响对我们中的一些人产生了更严重的打击。
根据最新的《气候变化对人类、生态系统和社会的影响：第六次评估报告》（IPCC）关于影响、适应和脆弱性的报告，大约有33亿到36亿人生活在高度脆弱于气候变化的环境中。该报告还指出，到2100年，全球50-75%的人口可能面临“威胁生命的气候条件”的时段，尤其是与加剧的高温和降雨有关的时段。
全球变暖对粮食生产产生了非常负面的影响。例如，粮食产量面临减少。食品不安全和水资源短缺可能导致人道主义危机、冲突和人口流离失所，不同地区的影响不均，尤其是在非洲、亚洲、中南美洲、一些小岛屿和北极地区。
