The recently released UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II report highlighted that many economic sectors are already being adversely affected by climate change, particularly as it relates to water availability. One of the IPCC report’s main highlights is that adaptation becomes less effective with more warming. For example, it is reported that water-related adaptation is most effective for a temperature change of up to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but that the efficacy of adaptation measures—such as changes in cropping patterns and crop systems—will become small or negligible under scenarios whereby the average global temperature rises more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
