Strengthening the handshake between physical climate science and adaptation communities is essential for producing actionable, integrated risk information. Our climate impact taxonomy links 35 Climatic Impact-Drivers to eight Representative Key Risks, with metadata on climate impact characteristics, relevant subsystems, and adaptation and mitigation linkages. This prototype taxonomy enables researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to develop adaptation strategies and direct support towards the most urgent, evidence-based priorities across IPCC-aligned dimensions.
