Infographics based on the results of the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate
In September 2019 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published a special report that describes the effects of the climate change on oceans, ice and snow. Nature and humans are also impacted by the observed and projected changes in ocean temperature, sea level, ice sheets, and sea ice. The Finnish Meteorological Institute and the Ministry of the Environment have produced infographics based the results of the report. Images can be freely used by the public and the media. [1]
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.
The complete set of the infographics can be downloaded as a PDF file, and the individual images are also available in JPG and PNG formats.
