On 9 August 2021, the IPCC Secretariat presented the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) of the Working Group I (WGI) contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis”. Information Bulletin IB/2021/2 presents the key global findings, followed by the key common regional observed changes in climate impact drivers on Small Islands contained in the SPM of WGI of the AR6, and its interim report.
Information Bulletin IB/2021/3 provides the underlying basis shaping projections made in IPCC’s AR6, followed by a synthesis of claims about projected changes in climate impact drivers on Small Islands.
