Infographics based on the results of the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate

IPCC’s "Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate” (SROCC) examines the observed and projected changes in oceans and cryosphere. The word “cryosphere” describes the snow covered and frozen components of the Earth system, including seasonal and permanent snow cover, ice sheets and glaciers, sea ice, ice on lakes and rivers as well as permafrost and seasonally frozen ground.

Note: When using the infographics, please cite the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the Finnish Ministry of the Environment, and Climateguide.fi as references.
