Avoiding increases of extreme heat events over East Asia by 0.5 degrees C

The Paris Agreement adopted by the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties in December 2015 officially included the 2 degrees C Global Temperature Target in the conference results and pursued efforts “to limit the level of global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels.” At 1.5/2 degrees C temperature warming level, changes in global and regional climate are a matter of public concern and relate to the decisions of policies, guidelines and measures on adaptations and mitigation of future climate change. Accurate answers to this question are subject to data constraints, as neither of the available projection datasets under future climate change scenarios is designed for a 1.5/2 degrees C temperature warming levels.
