Climate taxonomy tool turns risk assessments into practical adaptation guidance

Climate taxonomy tool turns risk assessments into practical adaptation guidance

As climate impacts such as heat waves, floods and fires intensify worldwide, there is an urgent demand for information on how to respond. IIASA researchers and partners have developed a new tool that meets that need, integrating climate drivers, risks and adaptation options in one framework grounded in IPCC science. It turns authoritative global climate assessments into guidance practitioners can use.
