    Development of major IPCC messages

    1990 First Assessment Report (FAR)

    continued accumulation of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in theatmosphere would lead to climate change .

    1995 Second Assessment Report (SAR) the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human

    influence on global climate.2001 Third Assessment Report (TAR) Most of the observed warming over the last 50 years islikelyto have

    beendue to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.

    (likely in TAR: 66 90% of chance)

    2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) Warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Most of the observed increase in global average temperature since the

    mid-20th century isvery likelydue to the increase in greenhouse gasconcentrations very likely in AR4:probability of more than 90%)

    Projections ofextreme eventsand related

    regional climate in the 21st century

    It is very likelythat hot extremes, heat waves and heavy precipitation

    events will continue to become more frequent.

    Warming is expected to be greatest over land and at most high

    northern latitudes, and least over the Southern Ocean and parts of the

    North Atlantic Ocean.

    Increases in the amount of precipitation are very likelyin high

    latitudes, while decreases are likelyin most subtropical land

    regions (by as much as about 20% in the A1B scenario in 2100), continuing

    observed patterns in recent trends.

    It is likelythat future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will

    become more intense, with larger peak wind speeds and more heavy

    precipitation associated with ongoing increases of tropical sea

    surface temperatures.

    Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations lead to increasing

    acidification of the ocean. Projections based on SRES scenarios give reductions in average global surface

    ocean pH ofbetween 0.14 and 0.35 units over the 21st century, adding to the

    present decrease of 0.1 units since pre-industrial times.

    Meridional overturning circulation (MOC)

    It is very likelythat the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) of the Atlantic

    Ocean will slow down during the 21st century. The multi-model average reduction by 2100 is 25% (range from zero to about

    50%) for SRES emission scenario A1B.

    Outcomes from the COP15(Copenhagen, December 2009)

    COP13agreed to finalize negotiations for the newframework to follow up the Kyoto Protocol by the end of

    the COP15 in 2009.

    Negotiations to finalize the post-Kyoto framework under

    the two working groups (AWG-KPandAWG-LCA) wereunsuccessful and eventually suspended towards the

    next Mexico City Conference (COP16) in 2010.

    But, COP15 narrowly decided after long deliberation

    beyond the night of the last day of the COP15 into the

    morning and day time of the next day totake note ofthe

    Copenhagen Accordagreed upon by Heads of State,Heads of Government, Ministers, and other heads.

    Some of the Major points ofCopenhagen Accord They agree thatdeep cuts in global emissions are required according to

    science, and as documented byAR4with a view to reduce global

    emissions so as tohold the increase in globaltemperature below 2(note: from pre-industrial) , and take action to meet this objectiveconsistent with science and on the basis of equity.

    Adaptationto the adverse effects of climate change and the potentialimpacts of response measures is a challenge faced by all countries.

    Annex Parties commit to implement individually or jointly the quantifiedeconomy-wide emissions targets for 2020, to be submitted in the format by 31 January 2010...

    Non-Annex Parties will implement mitigation actions, including those tobe submitted by 31 January 2010

    Scaled up, new and additional, predictable and adequate funding as well

    as improved access shall be providedto developing countries toenable and support enhanced action on mitigation, including substantialfinance to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation(REDD-plus), adaptation, technology development and transfer andcapacity-building, for enhanced implementation of the Convention.

    Summary (on scientific aspects)

    Summary (on scientific aspects) Thanks to the development of observation and modeling, further advanced

    scientific findings have been provided by the AR4.

    Warming of the climate systemisunequivocal.

    Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since themid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenicgreenhouse gas concentrations.

    Since much more climate models have become available for long-termexperiments, Best Estimate and Likely Range have been newly introducedin the assessment of climate change projections

    Recent findings on thepositive feedback effect of carbon cycle are going tocause implications as an additional issue to address climate stability.

    Research outcomes from the Earth Simulator (ES) considerably contributedto the AR4. Ongoing new research initiative, KAKUSHIN Program has beentrying to further promote projection studies by the updated ES.

    Cooperation has been continuing for adaptation studies in variousdeveloping countries through model outcomes from the updated ES (ES2).
