warming compared to the pre-industrial temperature. It is questionable if achieving such goal is still feasible.
Here, I review published works that suggesting that to keep global warming below or at a 2 K level cannot
be considered as safe, as is often assumed. A large body of studies have emerged recently investigating
the impacts of global climate change (GCC) at a 1.5 K or 2 K warming. The impacts range from changes in
the hydrological cycle, increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, triggering of change
feedback processes at various spatio-temporal scales, affecting biological processes from the molecular to
ecosystem levels, and to disrupting socio-economic conditions. In this short review, I present the latest scientific
knowledge regarding some of the most important impacts of GCC on natural ecosystems, humanmade
systems, and societies.Workplace Global Change Research Institute Contact Nikola Šviková, svikova.n@czechglobe.cz, Tel.: 511 192 268 Year of Publishing 2019
