Since IPCC AR5, human influence on the Earth’s climate has become unequivocal, increasingly apparent, and widespread, reflected in both the growing scientific literature and in the perception and experiences of people worldwide (high confidence). Current changes in the climate system and those expected in the future will increasingly have significant and deleterious impacts on human and natural systems. The impacts of climate change and extreme weather events have adversely affected, or caused the loss of ecosystems including terrestrial, freshwater, ocean and coastal ecosystems, including tropical coral reefs; reduced food security; contributed to migration and displacement; damaged livelihoods, health and security of people; and increased inequality. Climate change impacts are concurrent and interact with other significant societal changes that have become more salient since AR5, including a growing and urbanising global population; significant inequality and demands for social justice; rapid technological change; continuing poverty, land and water degradation, biodiversity loss; food insecurity; and a global pandemic. The Current Urgent Moment 1.1.1 A Changing Climate in a Changing World Numerous additional significant climate-related changes have unfolded worldwide since publication of the 6 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014 (IPCC, 2014a). Consistent with projections, multiple, 7 concurrent, changes in the physical climate system have grown more salient, including increasing global 8 temperatures, loss of ice volume, rising sea levels and changes in global precipitation patterns (WGI AR6 9 Chapter 1). The changes in the physical climate system, most notably more intensive extreme events, have 10 adversely affected natural and human systems around the world, contributing to a loss and degradation of 11 ecosystems including tropical coral reefs; reduced water and food security; increased damage to 12 infrastructure; additional mortality and morbidity; human migration and displacement; damaged livelihoods; 13 increased mental health issues; and increased inequality https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter01.pdf

Anthropogenic climate change has exposed ocean and coastal ecosystems to conditions that are unprecedented over millennia (high confidence2), and this has greatly impacted life in the ocean and along its coasts (very high confidence). Fundamental changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of the ocean acting individually and together are changing the timing of seasonal activities (very high confidence), distribution (very high confidence), and abundance (very high confidence) of oceanic and coastal organisms, from microbes to mammals and from individuals to ecosystems, in every region. Evidence of these changes is apparent from multi-decadal observations, laboratory studies and mesocosms wildlife disease increasing outbreak severity frequency novel vectors emerging creature-borne ticks helmingth worms chytrid fungus shifting poleward shifting upward new regions infecting humans Climate change has increased wildlife diseases (high confidence). Experimental studies provide high confidence in attribution of observed increased disease severity, outbreak frequency and emergence of novel vectors and their diseases into new areas to recent trends in climate and extreme events. Many vector-borne diseases, and those caused by ticks, helminth worms and Bd (chytrid) fungus, have shifted poleward, upward, and are emerging in new regions (high confidence).In the high Arctic and high elevations of Nepal, there is high confidence that climate change has driven expansion of vector-borne diseases that infect humans. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter03.pdf

Currently, ~4 billion out of 7.8 billion people are estimated to experience severe water scarcity for at least one month per year due to climatic and non-climatic factors (medium confidence1). Since the 1970s, 44% of all disaster events have been flood-related. Not surprisingly, a large share of adaptation interventions (~60%) is forged in response to water-related hazards (high confidence). {4.1, Box 4.1, 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.6, 4.3.8, 4.6, 4.7} Intensification of the hydrological cycle due to human-induced climate change is affecting physical aspects of water security (high confidence), thereby exacerbating existing water-related vulnerabilities caused by other socioeconomic factors. {4.2, 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.6, 4.3} Nearly half a billion people live in unfamiliarly wet areas, where the long-term average precipitation is as high as previously seen in only about one in six years (medium confidence). Approximately 163 million people live in unfamiliarly dry areas now (medium confidence habitat degradation marine pollution overharvest nutrient excess species introduction detrimental impact eutrophication hypoxia dead zones mass mortality salt marshes mangroves vulnerable At local to regional scales, climate change worsens the impacts on marine life of non-climate anthropogenic drivers, such as habitat degradation, marine pollution, overfishing and overharvesting, nutrient enrichment, and introduction of non-indigenous species (very high confidence). Although impacts of multiple climate and non-climate drivers can be beneficial or neutral to marine life, most are detrimental (high confidence). Warming exacerbates coastal eutrophication and associated hypoxia, causing 'dead zones' (very high confidence), which drive severe impacts on coastal and shelf-sea ecosystems (very high confidence), including mass mortalities, habitat reduction and fisheries disruptions (medium confidence). Overfishing exacerbates effects of multiple climate-impact drivers on predators at the top of the marine food chain (medium confidence). Urbanization and associated changes in freshwater and sediment dynamics increase the vulnerability of coastal ecosystems like sandy beaches, saltmarshes and mangrove forests to sea-level rise and changes in wave energy https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter04.pdf

Climate change impacts everybody, but vulnerable groups, such as women, children, low-income households, Indigenous or other minority groups and small-scale producers, are often at higher risk of malnutrition, livelihood loss, rising costs and competition over resources (high confidence). Increasing competition for land, energy, and water, exacerbates impacts of climate change on food security hydrologic cycle negative impact upon everyone disproportionately felt by the already vulnerable livelihood loss rising cost increasing competition food insecurity yield losses hydroelectric production flood, drought reinforcing systemic inequities stemming from historical socioeconomic and political marginalization There is increasing evidence of observed changes in hydrological cycle on people and ecosystems. A significant share of those impacts is negative and felt disproportionately by already vulnerable communities (high confidence). {4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.3.5,4.3.6, 4.3.8} Agriculture and energy production have been impacted by changes in the hydrological cycle (high confidence). Between 1983 and 2009, approximately three-quarters of the global harvested areas (~4547 million hectares) experienced yield losses induced by meteorological drought, with the cumulative production losses corresponding to the US $166 billion. There is medium confidence that current global thermoelectric and hydropower production has been negatively affected due to droughts with ~4 to 5% reduction in plant utilization rates during drought years compared to long-term average values since the 1980s. {4.3.1, 4.3.2} Climate change and changes in land use and water pollution are key drivers of loss and degradation of freshwater ecosystems (high confidence), with impacts observed on culturally significant terrestrial and freshwater species and ecosystems in the Arctic, high mountain areas (high confidence). In addition, precipitation and extreme weather events are linked to increased incidence and outbreaks of water-related diseases (high confidence). {4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.3.5, 4.3.8} Changes in water-related hazards disproportionately impact vulnerable populations such as the poor, women, children, Indigenous Peoples, and the elderly in all locations, especially in the Global South, due to systemic inequities stemming from historical, socioeconomic and political marginalization (medium confidence) https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter05.pdf

In all cities and urban areas, the risk faced by people and assets from hazards associated with climate change has increased (high confidence1). Urban areas are now home to 4.2 billion people, the majority of the world’s population. Urbanization processes generate vulnerability and exposure which combine with climate change hazards to drive urban risk and impacts (high confidence). Globally, the most rapid growth in urban vulnerability and exposure has been in cities and settlements where adaptive capacity is limited food production area unsuitable global crop livestock hunger malnourish nutrient mortality undernutrition micronutrient deficiency increase risk of hunger sub-saharan africa south asia central america Climate change will make some current food production areas unsuitable (high confidence). Current global crop and livestock areas will increasingly become climatically unsuitable under a high emission scenario Impacts on food availability and nutritional quality will increase the number of people at risk of hunger, malnutrition and diet-related mortality (high confidence). Climate change will increase the number of people at risk of hunger in mid-century, concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Central America (high confidence) (e.g. between 8 million under SSP1-6.0 to 80 million people under SSP3- 6.0). Increased CO2 concentrations will reduce nutrient density in some crops (high confidence). Climate change will increase loss of years of full health3 9 by 10% in 2050 under RCP8.5 due to undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter06.pdf

Climate illnesses (premature deaths) Malnutrition grows (malnutrition) Migrate to escape (mental health threat) Violent solution (migrate and displace) Uneven chances (effects cascade) Adaptation required (inclusive action transforms) Climate-related illnesses, premature deaths, malnutrition in all its forms, and threats to mental health and wellbeing are increasing. Climate hazards are a growing driver of involuntary migration and displacement (high confidence) and are a contributing factor to violent conflict (high confidence). These impacts are often interconnected, are unevenly distributed across and within societies, and will continue to be experienced inequitably (very high confidence). Cascading and compounding risks affecting health due to extreme weather events have been observed in all inhabited regions, and risks are expected to increase with further warming (very high confidence). Intersectional, gender-responsive and inclusive action can accelerate transformative climate change adaptation. The greatest gains in wellbeing in urban areas can be achieved by prioritising investment to reduce climate risk for low-income and marginalised residents and targeting informal settlements. These approaches can advance equity and environmental justice over the long term in ways more likely to lead to outcomes that reduce vulnerability for all urban residents. Participatory planning for infrastructure provision and risk management to address climate change and underlying drivers of risk in informal and underserviced neighbourhoods, the inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge and Local Knowledge, communication and efforts to build local leadership especially amongst women and youth are examples of inclusive approaches with co-benefits for equity. Providing opportunities for marginalised people, including women, to take on leadership and participation in local projects can enhance climate governance and its outcomes (high confidence). https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter07.pdf

Adverse impacts of climate change, development deficits and inequality exacerbate each other. Existing vulnerabilities and inequalities intensify with adverse impacts of climate change (high confidence1). These impacts disproportionately affect marginalised groups, amplifying inequalities and undermining sustainable development across all regions (high confidence). Due to their socio-economic conditions and the broader development context, many poor communities, especially in regions with high levels of vulnerability and inequality, are less resilient to diverse climate impacts (high confidence) {8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.3.2, 8.3.3} Vulnerabilities exist Intensify inequalities disproportionately marginalized amplified undermined poor commuinities low resilience poverty traps food insecurity greater constraints reduced choices limits opportunities involuntary migration violent conflict adaptation transformation wide ranging inclusion poverty reduction inequality reduction necessary Under all emissions scenarios, climate change reduces capacities for adaptive responses and limits choices and opportunities for sustainable development. Higher levels of global warming lead to greater constraints on societies. Climate change increases the threat of chronic and sudden onset development challenges, such as poverty traps and food insecurity (high confidence). Adaptation interventions and transformative solutions that prioritize inclusive and wide-ranging climate resilient development and the reduction of poverty and inequality are increasingly seen as necessary to minimize loss and damage from climate change (high confidence Climate-related illnesses, premature deaths, malnutrition in all its forms, and threats to mental health and wellbeing are increasing (very high confidence1 4 ). Climate hazards are a growing driver of involuntary migration and displacement (high confidence) and are a contributing factor to violent conflict (high confidence). These impacts are often interconnected, are unevenly distributed across and within societies, and will continue to be experienced inequitably (very high confidence).

All biodiversity hotspots are impacted, to differing degrees, by human activities (very high confidence) Climate change impacts are compounded by other anthropogenic impacts, including habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting, fishing and its bycatch, over-exploitation, water abstraction, nutrient enrichment, pollution, human introduction of invasive species, pests and diseases, all of which reduce climate resilience (very high confidence), complicating the attribution of observations reduced climate resilience habitat loss fragmentation fishing and bycatch over exploitation water abstraction invasive pollution pest and disease losses have been detected climate extremes and events high emissions continue loss and damage will be felt concentrated among the poor inequality and poverty significant limits and risk for vulnerable situations women youth elderly ethnic and religious minorities indigenous peoples and refugees forced enonomic transition into wage labor extreme poverty for millions A growing range of economic and non-economic losses have been detected and attributed to climate extremes and slow onset events under observed increases in global temperatures (medium evidence, high agreement). If future climate change under high emissions scenarios continues and increases risks, without strong adaptation measures, losses and damages will likely2 35 be concentrated among the poorest vulnerable populations (high confidence). The intersection of inequality and poverty presents significant adaptation limits, resulting in residual risks for people/groups in vulnerable situations, including women, youth, elderly, ethnic and religious minorities, Indigenous People and refugees. Climate change is likely to force economic transitions among the poorest groups, accelerating the switch from agriculture to other forms of wage labour, with implications for labour migration and urbanization (medium evidence, high agreement). Under an inequality scenario (SSP4) the projected number of people living in extreme poverty may increase by 122 42 million by 2030 https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_CrossChapterPaper1.pdf

Species in biodiversity hotspots already show changes in response to climate change (high confidence1).The animal and plant species assessed have been shifting their geographic ranges from low to high latitudes in response to climate warming on land and in the ocean (very high confidence). On land, climate change- induced shifts towards higher elevations are also common in biodiversity hotspots (high confidence); while in the ocean climate-induced shifts to greater water depths are little studied. In the ocean, abrupt mortality of habitat-forming species on coral reefs and kelp forests, especially following heatwaves, are increasing in 14 frequency in biodiversity hotspots (high confidence). {CCP1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.4} animal and plant shift geographic range higher elevation greater depth escape abrupt mortality coral reef and kelp forest following heatwaves tenfold increase risk of extinction endemic creatures 100% on islands 84% on mountains 12% on continents 54% in ocean will be threatened climate stressor local and global extinctions The risk of species extinction increases with warming in all climate change projections for native species studied in hotspots (high confidence), being about ten-times greater for endemic species from 1.5°C to 3°C above pre-industrial levels (medium confidence). Of the 6,116 projections for more than 2,700 species assessed in biodiversity hotspots, ~44% were found to be at high extinction risk, and ~24% at very high extinction risk due to climate change (medium confidence). Very high extinction risk in biodiversity hotspots due to climate change is more common for endemic species than other native species (high confidence). For these endemic species, considering all scenarios and time periods evaluated, ~100% on islands, ~84% on mountains, ~12% on continents (high confidence) and ~54% in the ocean (notably the Mediterranean) (low confidence) are projected to be threatened with extinction due to climate change. With further warming, increasingly high risks of local and global extinctions are projected in biodiversity hotspots from climate-related stressors (high confidence). {CCP1.2.1, Figure CCP1.7, Figure CCP1.6} https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_CrossChapterPaper1.pdf

Low-lying C&S are experiencing adverse climate impacts that are superimposed on extensive and accelerating anthropogenic coastal change (very high confidence) {WGI Section 12.4.10.2; Sections 6.1,6.2; CCP2.2, SMCCP2.1}. Depending on coastal C&S characteristics, continuing existing patterns of coastal development will worsen exposure and vulnerability (high confidence) {CCP2.1}.

Ecosystem degradation (Section 16.5.2.3.1) and desertification threaten the abilities of both natural and human systems to adapt to climate change (high confidence) {3.1.1}. Changes in desert and semi-arid ecosystem services most acutely affect people who are directly dependent on naatural resources for their livelihoods and survival. These groups also often have lower capacities to adapt, particularly given structural limitations of some drylands where healthcare, sanitation, infrastructure and efficient markets are lacking, reinforcing existing inequalities (high confidence) {3.2.1, 3.2.2}.

Current development pathways combined with the observed impacts of climate change, are leading away from, rather than toward, sustainable development, as reported in recent literature (moderate agreement, robust evidence). While demonstrable progress has been made on some of the SDGs, significant gains across a range of targets are still necessary, as is enhancing synergies and balancing and managing trade-offs. Severe risks to natural and human systems are already observed in some places (high confidence), and could occur in many more systems, worldwide before mid-century (medium confidence), by end-century at all scales, from the local to the global, and at all latitudes and altitudes (high confidence). The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the vulnerability of development progress to shocks and stresses, potentially delaying the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for all (8.1, Cross-Chapter Box COVID in Chapter 7). Various global trends including rising income inequality, continued growth in greenhouse gas emissions, land use change, food and water insecurity, human displacement, and reversals of long-term increasing life expectancy trends in some nations run counter to the SDGs (very high confidence) as well as efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate (18.2). These development trends contribute to worsening poverty, injustice and inequity, and environmental degradation. Climate change can exacerbate these conditions by undermining human and ecological well-being (18.2). Social and economic inequities linked to gender, poverty, race/ethnicity, religion, age, or geographic location compound vulnerability to climate change and have created and could further exacerbate injustices, and constrain the implementation of CRD for all (very high confidence). global trends include rising inequality greenhouse gas emission worsening poverty injustice inequity environmental degradation compound vulnerability to climate change constrain the implementation of climate reduction for all https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FinalDraft_Chapter18.pdf

IPCC recognizes that there are many urgent struggles facing world communities, and also that each conflict is but a facet of a single central cause: exploitation. Centuries of people and planetary exploitation have created entrenched systems of racism, sexism, colonialism and classism which are nearly impossible for any individual to sufficiently oppose.

We acknowledge and encourage all efforts towards building a balanced world and healthy communities in any way which suits the reality of your individual situation and sense of meaning: we protect us.

With that in mind, rather than spread ourselves thinly across a multitude of excellent and equally important causes, we have selected the following as the intersectional recipient of all proceeds generated by this album:
