McKinsey Report on Climate risk and response: Physical hazards and socioeconomic impacts
This report focuses on the physical effects of our changing climate. Current and future risks are assessed within a 30 year time span and case studies are used to analyse and understand the mechanisms through which physical climate change leads to increased socioeconomic risk. Impacts are also explored with estimates on probabilities and magnitude of potential impacts. The aim is to inform decision makers worldwide to allow them to better assess, adapt to, and mitigate the physical risks of climate change.

World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2020
The Global Risks Report 2020 presents the major risks facing the world in the coming year. It focuses on the need for a multistakeholder approach towards the world’s greatest challenges, and comes ahead of the World Economic Forum’s 50th Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters, where the focus is Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World. Stakeholders must be able to find ways to act quickly on such crucial matters as the economy, the environment, technology and public health, even if the global scenario is unsettled. This is the context in which the World Economic Forum publishes the 15th edition of the Global Risks Report.

EAERE Observer Organization at UNFCCC
EAERE has officially become an Observer Organization at the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties. This admission status accords EAERE the right to nominate representatives of the organization to take part in UNFCCC conferences.
The admission of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as observers at sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) is governed by Article 7, paragraph 6, of the Convention, which provides that, inter alia:
“Any body or agency, whether national or international, governmental or nongovernmental, which is qualified in matters covered by the Convention, and which has informed the secretariat of its wish to be represented at a session of the Conference of the Parties as an observer, may be so admitted unless at least one third of the Parties present object.”
