These concerns should be noted in footnotes to tables SPM.2 and

A 0 0 0 0 Figure SPM.2 is an attempt to use the Kaya Equation to illustrate
the impact of each factor in the equation on the change in carbon
emissions over 10 year periods. The ordinary policy maker reader
will have much difficulty with this Figure. Where do the numbers
come from and what do they mean? This could be described using
an example of one of the decades in question. The net change
number could not be deduced in this figure from Figure SPM.1, but

partnerships. For instance, there are many publicly-owned lands
(eg, Forest Service, BLM, NPS) and lands owned by NGOs (eg,
TNC). Additionally, increased communication, collaboration, and
partnerships are essential for information sharing. There is an
increasing need to share species level data and information and
make it available to decision makers at the local, national, and
regional levels worldwide. This is particularly important in relation
to gauge the impacts of climate change on biological diversity from
an adaptation and mitigation perspective. Also, with the increase in
interconnectedness across the globe, the problem of transboundary
issues such as invasives and animal diseases will play an
