First, this AR6 assessment has an increased focus on risk- and solutions- frameworks. The risk framing can move beyond the limits of single best estimates or most-likely outcomes and include high-consequence outcomes for which probabilities are low or in some cases unknown . In this report, the risk framing for the first time spans all three Working Groups, includes risks from the responses to climate change, considers dynamic and cascading consequences , describes with more geographic detail risks to people and ecosystems, and assesses such risks over a range of scenarios . The focus on solutions encompasses the interconnections among climate responses, sustainable development, and transformation, and the implications for governance across scales within the public and private sectors . The assessment therefore includes climate-related decision making and risk management, climate resilient development pathways, implementation and evaluation of adaptation, and also limits to adaptation, and loss and damage . Specific focal areas reflect contexts increasingly important for the implementation of responses, such as cities .
