In this article, a follow-up to our report in the April 2007 Water Front, a set of policy-relevant impacts of the warming on natural and human systems considered to be of key interest to the water community are presented.

It discusses climate change in relation to the amount of greenhouse gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, solar radiation and the properties of the world’s land surfaces. It also estimates future climate change for different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions. This article summarises the Report’s main findings.
