The effects of global climate change on places, societies and environmental systems
Climate change and the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, including:
Impacts of climate change on people and places, including health hazards, migration and ocean transport routes
Synthesis, evaluation and skills opportunities
The uneven spatial distribution of effects [of climate change] and uncertainty about their timing, scale and impacts for individuals and societies
Hydrosphere: all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
Biosphere: the regions of the surface and atmosphere of the earth or another planet occupied by living organisms.
Atmosphere: the envelope of gases surrounding the earth
