Broad threat to humanity from cumulative climate hazards intensified by greenhouse gas emissions
The ongoing emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is triggering changes in many climate
hazards that can impact humanity. We found traceable evidence for 467 pathways by which …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …
