Delay in implementing adaptation and emission reductions will impede climate resilient development, resulting in more costly climate impacts and greater scale of adjustments . The region faces an extremely challenging future. Reducing the risks would require significant and rapid emission reductions to keep global warming to 1.5℃-2.0℃, as well as robust and timely adaptation. The projected warming under current global emissions reduction policies would leave many of the region's human and natural systems at very high risk and beyond adaptation limits.
