Statements
Climate change has caused substantial damages, and increasingly irreversible losses, in terrestrial, freshwater, cryospheric and coastal and open ocean ecosystems. (English)

The extent and magnitude of climate change impacts are larger than estimated in previous assessments. (English)

Approximately half of the species assessed globally have shifted polewards or, on land, also to higher elevations. (English)
0 references
Biological responses including changes in geographic placement and shifting seasonal timing are often not sufficient to cope with recent climate change. (English)

Hundreds of local losses of species have been driven by increases in the magnitude of heat extremes [..]. (English)

Hundreds of local losses of species have been driven by increases in [..] and mass mortality events on land and in the ocean (English)

Impacts on some ecosystems are approaching irreversibility such as the impacts of hydrological changes resulting from the retreat of glaciers, or the changes in some mountain [..] ecosystems driven by permafrost thaw. (English)

Impacts in ecosystems from slow-onset processes such as ocean acidification, sea level rise or regional decreases in precipitation have also been attributed to human-caused climate change. (English)

Climate change has contributed to desertification and exacerbated land degradation, particularly in low lying coastal areas, river deltas, drylands and in permafrost areas. (English)

Nearly 50% of coastal wetlands have been lost over the last 100 years, as a result of the combined effects of localised human pressures, sea level rise, warming and extreme climate events. (English)
