There is no single 1.5°C warmer world, and projections of 1.5°C warmer worlds look different depending on whether it is considered on a near-term transient trajectory or at climate equilibrium after several millennia, and, in both cases, if it occurs with or without overshoot. Within the 21st century, several aspects play a role for the assessment of risk and potential impacts in 1.5°C warmer worlds: the possible occurrence, magnitude and duration of an overshoot; the way in which emissions reductions are achieved; the ways in which policies might be able to influence the resilience of human and natural systems; and the nature of the regional and sub-regional risks. Beyond the 21st century, several elements of the climate system would continue to change even if the global mean temperatures remain stable, including further increases of sea level.</div> </div> <div class="glossary-entry"> <div id="13C"></div> === <span class="glossary-term">13C</span> === <div class="glossary-working-groups">'''Working Groups:''' WGI</div> <div class="glossary-definition">'''Definition:''' Stable isotope of carbon having an atomic weight of approximately 13.
