  rise varies from place to place and increases in higher emissions scenarios. Emissions scenarios explained To predict the severity of climate change and therefore future sea-level rise, we make assumptions about economic, social, and environmental changes that influence climate change. Each

• Terrestrial carbon cycle

  The aim of the group is to understand the role and response of the terrestrial carbon cycle, vegetation and ecosystems in future climate change.

  The terrestrial carbon cycle and the world's ecosystems are sensitive to climate and, therefore, to future climate change. They are also able to influence climate through numerous biophysical and biogeochemical mechanisms such as carbon storage within ecosystems; land surface albedo, stomatal

Air pressure, wind speed and its direction can also influence the height and impact of a storm surge

• Consensus needed on Paris Agreement 1.5 °C guard rail

  Agreement guard rails will be crucial. Without an agreement on what actually will count as exceeding 1.5 °C, we risk distraction and confusion at precisely the time when action to avoid the worst effects of climate change becomes even more urgent.” New indicators for Global Warming levels Some
