Europe Extreme weather including increased heat
waves, wildfires and reduced crop productivity,
as well as heavy rainfalls causing landslides and
floods.
Africa By 2020, up to 250 million people to be
exposed to water stress, desertification
droughts. Famine and mass evictions. Spreading of
deadly diseases.
Who is effected?
North America Heat waves with adverse health
impacts. Water stress. Hurricanes.
Asia Water stress, desertification, decreased
food productivity. Melting of Himalayan glaciers
will cause collapse of river systems. Hurricanes.
Small Islands Deterioration in coastal
conditions e.g. beach erosion and coral
bleaching. Loss of biodiversity and local
resources. Loss of land.
Latin America By mid-century, projected
replacement of tropical forest by savanna in
eastern Amazonia. Water stress. Droughts.
Australia and New Zealand Significant
biodiversity loss by 2020, including sea life
extinction. Water stress, droughts.
