SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT
Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis
Climate information for impact assessment
and adaptation action
Prof Daniela Schmidt
Coordinating Lead Author WGII Chapter 13 Europe
University of Bristol and Cabot Institute
3. SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT
Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis
Hazards interact with exposure and vulnerability, but also our responses to climate
change
Compound hazards such as drought, heat and wind lead to larger risk which are harder
to project
Simpson et al 2021 One Earth

Simpson et al 2021 One Earth
Interaction across sectors, time and space amplify
risk
5. SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT
Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis
Concurrent heat and drought – compound hazards
Severe impacts on vegetation
Loss in forest production in central Europe
Significant crop losses
2018 event Bastos et al 2020 2016 event Ben Ari et al 2018

Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis
Regional climate determines impact
• SSP2-4.5 globally near term 1.6°C, mid term 2.1°C, long term 2.9°C
• SSP2-4.5 Europe near term 2.1 °C, mid term 2.8°C, long term 3.7°C

Warming not only on land – increases in marine heatwaves

Marine protection does not move with species
Brodie et al 2014
• Extreme events are
accelerating impacts
• Warming and
acidification act in
different directions
• Species are on the
move
• Protection is local
9. SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT
Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis
• A forest is an investment for centuries
• Success of mitigation through reforestation depends
on the environmental conditions
• Mitigation options such as forest protection and
reforestation need to consider temperature and
precipitation not now but in 100 years time
• Forests cannot just move when climate zones move
northward and eastward
