| 520 | _aArgues that economic assessments of climate change are missing key risks as they are difficult to quantify and are potentially unknown to human experience. Identifies unprecedent and underplayed risks. Highlights limitations in current assessments of climate system thresholds and human adaptive capacity, outlines greatest potential risks from climate change including destabilisation of ice sheets and glaciers and consequent sea level rise leading to flooding, contamination of fresh water and displacement, stronger tropical cyclones, extreme heat impacts and distruction of biodiversity and collapse of ecosystems leading to population displacement and migration. | ||
