6. Mitigation is critical to ensuring a wide range of adaptation options are
effective
B.4 Adaptation options that are feasible and effective today will
become constrained and less effective with increasing global
warming. With increasing global warming, losses and damages will
increase and additional human and natural systems will reach
adaptation limits. Maladaptation can be avoided by flexible, multi-
sectoral, inclusive, long-term planning and implementation of
adaptation actions, with co-benefits to many sectors and systems.

7. •Risk from response option amount of land used for dedicated
bioenergy
•Dedicated 2nd generation bioenergy monocultures consistent with
current mitigation scenarios (Fig. SPM4)
•Combined risk: food systems, terrestrial ecosystems and water
scarcity
Yet response measures also have impacts….

deployment in 2050 in
mitigation scenarios
(depends on mitigation
stringency and SSPs)
Equivalent to roughly
half of current
cropland area (Fig.
