 <\/p>\n

The report provides a snapshot of the effects of increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, storms and retreating glaciers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It includes transboundary analyses, such as of the drought of the South American Pantanal and the intense hurricane season in Central America-Caribbean. It provides a detailed regional breakdown of worsening global climate change indicators.<\/p>
