Because of uncertainties associated with regional projections of climate change the report assesses sensitivity and vulnerability rather than attempting to provide quantitative predictions. Vulnerability is the extent to which climate change may damage or harm a system; it is a function of both sensitivity to climate and the ability to adapt to new conditions."
