50	What prevented the development of synthetic diagrams for Small Islands Asia and SEA?	The development of synthetic diagrams for Small Islands, Asia and Central and South America were limited by the availability of adequately downscaled climate projections, with uncertainty in the direction of change, the diversity of climatologies and socio-economic contexts across countries within a region, and the resulting low number of impact and risk projections for different warming levels.

54	How will potential reductions of hydropower affect the Mediterranean?	In the Mediterranean and parts of Europe, potential reductions of hydropower of up to 40% are projected under 3°C warming, while declines below 10% and 5% are projected under 2°C and 1.5°C warming levels respectively.
55	What is the climate-change related risk for Marine-dependant communities?	Marine-dependent communities, including indigeneous Peoples and local peoples, will be at increased risk of malnutrition due to losses of seafood-sourced nutrients.
56	Why Asia and Africa are particularly exposed to risks associated to changes in precipation and sea level rise?	Changes in precipitation, sea level rise, temperature and extreme events will negatively affect food provisioning from inland aquatic systems , which provide a significant source of livelihoods and food for direct human consumption, particularly in Asia and Africa.
