The WGII AR5 Report noted that adapting to the risks associated with climate change becomes more challenging at higher levels of global warming . This was evidenced by contrasting impacts and adaptive capacity for 2ºC and 4℃ of warming. This relationship between levels of warming, climate risk and reasons for concern  is also relevant to the concept of CRD. For example, recent literature on CRD emphasises the urgency of climate action that achieve significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the implementation of adaptation options that result in significant gains in human and natural system resilience  . This was explored extensively in the IPCC's SR1.5 report in its comparison of impacts associated with 1.5℃ versus 2ºC climate objectives and synergies and trade-offs with the SDGs . However, the SR1.5 report and other literature also identified potential trade-offs between aggressive mitigation and the SDGs . This indicates that while future magnitudes of warming are a fundamental consideration in CRD, such development involves more than just achieving temperature targets. Rather, CRD considers the possible transitions that enable those targets to be achieved, including the evaluation of different adaptation and
