Extremes, Abrupt Changes and Managing Risks
E845595
"Extremes, Abrupt Changes and Managing Risks" is a chapter of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate that examines how climate change intensifies extreme events and sudden shifts in ocean and cryosphere systems, and explores strategies for assessing and managing the associated risks.
