Accelerated climate change poses significant threats to ecosystems and communities, exacerbating climate‑related hazards and disasters. Assessing climate impacts and risks is key to identifying adaptation needs. This section draws on a new set of indicators developed by IPAC on key climate-related hazards using earth observation data. The indicators focus on seven key hazards and four exposure domains and provide a time series going back as far as 43 years for all countries globally.
Climate Action Dashboard
The Climate Action Dashboard features key indicators to track progress towards climate objectives and provide a snapshot of country climate action. The Dashboard has four main building blocks starting with the status of greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. It describes their developments in activities or sectors, impacts on climate and the environment and the associated risks and vulnerabilities, the policies and actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and the derived socio-economic opportunities that contribute to a just transition.
