Short Summary

This paper systematically analyzes the treatment of compound climate events and cascading impacts within the IPCC AR6 reports to identify existing gaps and propose avenues for improvement in the AR7.

Objective

• To systematically analyze the coverage of compound climate events and cascading impacts in the IPCC AR6 reports, identify gaps in understanding and reporting, and suggest directions for future assessments in the AR7.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Global (analysis of IPCC reports covering global climate assessments).
• Temporal Scale: Past, present, and future climate events and impacts, as covered by IPCC AR6, with a forward-looking perspective towards AR7.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not applicable in the traditional sense; the methodology involves qualitative and quantitative content analysis.
• Data sources: Textual content extracted from the IPCC AR6 reports.

Main Results

• The study identifies specific areas where compound climate events and cascading impacts are underrepresented or inadequately addressed in AR6.
• It provides a structured overview of these gaps and proposes concrete recommendations for their inclusion and improved assessment in AR7.

Contributions

• This research provides a critical meta-analysis of the IPCC AR6 reports concerning complex climate phenomena.
• It offers a structured framework for identifying deficiencies and guiding the scope and focus of future IPCC assessment cycles (AR7) on compound events and cascading impacts.
