This assessment focuses primarily on adverse consequences of climate change. However, climate change also has positive implications  for certain people and systems, although there are gaps in the literature on these positive effects. Some risks assessed in this chapter are actually about a balance between positive and negative effects of climate change . In those contexts, we assess the combined effect of both, aiming to identify not only the aggregate impacts  but also the distributional aspects . A more comprehensive discussion of the decision-making related to such trade-offs in relation to adaptation is provided in Chapter 17.
