3 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report - definitions Exposure: nature and degree to which a system is exposed to climatic variations Sensitivity: degree to which a system is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate change Impact: all impacts that may occur given a projected change in climate, without considering adaptation; impact is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate change and variation to which a system is exposed and its sensitivity Adaptive capacity: ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences Vulnerability: degree to which a system is susceptible to, and unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes; vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate change and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity Resilience: amount of change a system can undergo without changing state
4 IPCC SRES GHG emissions scenarios A1F1: a high scenario, with a global average surface warming of up to 4.0 o C by the end of the 21 st Century (likely range o C) A2: a medium-high scenario, with a global average surface warming of up to 3.4 o C by the end of the 21 st Century (likely range o C) B2: a medium-low scenario, with a global average surface warming of up to 2.4 o C by the end of the 21 st Century (likely range o C) B1: a low scenario, with a global average surface warming of up to 1.8 o C by the end of the 21 st Century (likely range o C)

8 Adaptive capacity - general restrictions Small population and/or range in Europe Low survival and/or productivity rates Long generation times Declining population in Europe Low genetic diversity Specialised and uncommon habitat requirements Narrow niche Critical association with another vulnerable species
9 Adaptive capacity - colonisation restrictions Barriers to dispersal (e.g. water, topography and manmade barriers) Limited dispersal and/or colonisation ability Mainly distributed in fragmented habitats that limit dispersal
