The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL), also known as the "Special Report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems", [1] [2] is a landmark study from 2019 by 107 experts from 52 countries.
Land surface effects on climate are wide-ranging and vary by region. Deforestation and exploitation of natural landscapes play a significant role. Some of these environmental changes are similar to those caused by the effects of global warming .
Short title: Climate Change Indicators in the United States, 2016; Author: US EPA; OAR; Climate Change Division; Image title: EPA tracks a set of indicators that aid in our understanding of the causes, effects, and impacts of global climate change.
Special Report on Climate Change and Land: Special Report 2019 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories [35] Methodology Report 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C (SR15) Special Report 2014 AR5 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2014 [36] Synthesis Report 2013 and 2014
The report state that: "Climate change exacerbates land degradation, particularly in low-lying coastal areas, river deltas, drylands and in permafrost areas (high confidence). Over the period 1961–2013, the annual area of drylands in drought has increased, on average by slightly more than 1% per year, with large inter-annual variability.
Indirect emissions from land use change, emissions of other greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide, and increased concentrations of water vapor in the atmosphere, also contribute to climate change. [1] Observed temperature from NASA [3] vs the 1850–1900 average used by the IPCC as a pre-industrial baseline. [4]
Deforestation is a primary contributor to climate change, [1] [2] and climate change affects the health of forests. [3] Land use change, especially in the form of deforestation, is the second largest source of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, after the burning of fossil fuels.
