==== Climate-related extremes on land ==== AR5 reported that impacts from recent climate-related extremes reveal significant vulnerability and exposure of some ecosystems to current climate variability. Impacts of such climate-related extremes include alteration of ecosystems, disruption of food production and water supply, damage to infrastructure and settlements, morbidity and mortality, and consequences for mental health and human well- being (Burkett et al. 2014 <sup>[[#fn:r16|16]]</sup> ). The SR15 further indicates that limiting global warming to 1.5Β°C limits the risks of increases in heavy precipitation events in several regions ( ''high confidence'' ). In urban areas, climate change is projected to increase risks for people, assets, economies and ecosystems ( ''very high confidence'' ). These risks are amplified for those lacking essential infrastructure and services or living in exposed areas. An updated assessment and a knowledge gap for this chapter are covered in Section 2.2 and Cross-Chapter Box 4. <span id="land-based-climate-change-adaptation-and-mitigation"></span>
