Vulnerability-
Adaptive Capacity- High
Agriculture-
Initial impact of carbon dioxide increase
expected
to be beneficial to temperate crops. As the
warming increases, however, the results will
becoming increasingly negative.Animals & Plants-
Some spcies could become endangered or extinct.
Coral reefs, arid/semi-arid and alpine habitats, as
well as costal freshwater wetlands are most
vulnerable.
Human Settlements-
Increased intensity of heavy rains and tropical
cyclones will increase risk of loss of life &
property due to storm surges, flooding and wind
damage.
Water Resources-
Drying trends are projected for most of the area,
decreasing water availability. |
