=== 16.6.2 Framework and Approach for Assessment of RFCs and Relation to RKRs ===

<div id="h2-19-siblings" class="h2-siblings"></div>

The RFC framework communicates scientific understanding about accrual of risk in relation to varying levels of warming for five broad categories: risk associated with (1) unique and threatened systems, (2) extreme weather events, (3) distribution of impacts, (4) global aggregate impacts and (5) large-scale singular events ( [[#Smith--2001|Smith et al., 2001]] ; [[#Mastrandrea--2004|Mastrandrea and Schneider, 2004]] ; [[#Schneider--2005|Schneider and Mastrandrea, 2005]] ). The RFC framework was first developed during the Third Assessment Report ( [[#Smith--2001|Smith et al., 2001]] ) along with a visual representation of these risks as ‘burning embers’ figures, and this assessment framework has been further developed and updated in subsequent IPCC reports including AR5 ( [[#IPCC--2014|IPCC, 2014]] ; [[#Oppenheimer--2014|Oppenheimer et al., 2014]] ) and the recent IPCC Special Reports (SR15 ( [[#IPCC--2018a|IPCC, 2018a]] ); SRCCL (IPCC, 2019; SROCC (IPCC, 2019)).
