Following on the publication of the first part of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the Summary for Policymakers of the Working Groups II and III are soon going to be released. In this framework, the ICCG has taken the initiative of organising two ad hoc seminars to discuss with renowned experts the most relevant outcomes of the reports. The March 31st seminar concerns the Working Group II contribution, entitled 'Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability'.
