Impact in the Mediterranean Region
In its report, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability for the Mediterranean region, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts with high confidence that:
- Air and sea temperature and their extremes (notably heat waves) are likely to continue to increase more than the global average.
- Precipitation will likely decrease in most areas by 4–22% (depending on the emission scenario).
- Droughts will become more prevalent in many areas.
- Coastal flood risks will increase in low-lying areas along 37% of the Mediterranean coastline that currently hosts 42 million people.
- Yields of rainfed crops may decrease by 64% in some locations.
- Burnt area of forests may increase by 96–187% under 3°C, depending on fire management
