Editing IPCC:AR6/WGII/TS (section)

=== TS.A.2 TS Structure of the Report ===

<div id="h2-2-siblings" class="h2-siblings"></div>

This technical summary is structured in five sections: Section A ‘Introduction’, Section B ‘Observed Impacts and Adaptation’, Section C ‘Projected Impacts and Risks’, Section D ‘Contribution of Adaptation to Solutions’ and Section E ‘Climate Resilient Development’. Each section includes several headline statements followed by several bullet points providing details about the underlying assessments. All findings and figures are supported by and traceable to the underlying report, indicated by references { in curly brackets } to relevant sections of chapters and cross-chapter papers.

Confidence in the key findings of this assessment is communicated using the IPCC calibrated uncertainty language. This calibrated language is designed to consistently evaluate and communicate uncertainties that arise from incomplete knowledge due to a lack of information or from disagreement about what is known or even knowable. The IPCC calibrated language uses qualitative expressions of confidence based on the robustness of evidence for a finding and (where possible) uses quantitative expressions to describe the likelihood of a finding. Each finding is grounded in an evaluation of underlying evidence and agreement. A level of confidence is expressed using five qualifiers, very low, low, medium, high and very high, and typeset in italics, for example, ''medium confidence'' . The following terms have been used to indicate the assessed likelihood of an outcome or a result: ''virtually certain'' 99–100% probability, ''very likely'' 90–100%, ''likely'' 66–100%, ''as likely as not'' 33–66%, ''unlikely'' 0–33%, ''very unlikely'' 0–10%, ''exceptionally unlikely'' 0–1%. Assessed likelihood is typeset in italics, for example, ''very likely'' . This is consistent with AR5 and the other AR6 reports. (Figure TS.1) { 1.3.4 }
