CLIMATE IMPACTS AND VULNERABILITY
Historic Weather and Climate
Observations indicate the following:
 Rises in average temperatures of about _____ since ____, an average of ____° per decade.
 Decreases/Increases in rainfall by ___ mm per decade and a shortening/lengthening of the
rainy season.
 Increases/Decreases in daily rainfall and in the frequency of short dry spells.
 Loss of shoreline (if have) from erosion of ___ m per year along shorelines of sand beaches,
and ____m per year along rocky coastline areas, aggravated by sea level rise.
Predicted Future Climate Changes
In general, climate models predict for Country:
 An increase/decrease by the 2060s of ______°C in mean annual temperatures from the
observed _____ mean of _____°C.
 Greater climate variability, including in the frequency and proportion of rainfall coming in
intense and extreme rainfall events.
 Sea level rise of up to _ m by 2100 (if have a coast).
 Changes in annual precipitation ranging from a ___% decrease to a ___% increase from the
______ average, with the majority of models predicting a decrease.
