A comprehensive report documenting the global impact of climate change on human society today.

The report was launched in London on 29 May 2009 by the Kofi Annan and Barbara Stocking, who was a member of the report's eminent Advisory Panel.

The Human Impact Report is the first consolidated volume specifically and exclusively focused on the adverse impacts of the climate change on human society across the world. The report is based on latest and best information on the human impact of climate change as well as inputs from world-leading scientists and climate, humanitarian and development experts.

In order to provide an idea of the order of magnitudes of the current impacts of climate change, the report also includes estimates on the numbers of deaths and casualties as a result of climate change, the economic costs of climate change, as well as making projections 20 years into the future.

The aim of the report is to fill a void in both a general public understanding of climate change as well as to senior policymakers.
