Climate change is rapidly threatening large regions of the world. Damages include the following:

• Floods and water insecurity and loss of rural livelihoods and income, particularly for poorer populations
• Loss of ecosystems, biodiversity and ecosystem goods, functions and services
• Storm surges, sea level rise and coastal flooding; inland flooding in some urban regions; and periods of extreme heat
• Extreme weather events leading to break-down of infrastructure networks and critical services

These problems disproportionately affect poorer regions of the world. There is an urgent need to address these vulnerabilities, accelerate adaptation to and build resilience against climate change.

Loss of habitat has been predicted for over 1 billion people in the next 50 years.
