Climate change – Impacts of climate change

Description:

The graphic shows the impacts in the following areas:
• Weather events
• Biodiversity
• Cereal cultivation
• Sea level
• Arctic sea ice
• Corals
• Fishing
The graphic first presents the impacts for warming of +1.5°C, and then it is possible to fade out to the impacts at +2°C. The fade-out makes it clear that the impacts are many times more intense for warming of +2°C.
