7. Overarching questions How are the climate elements that are important to human and natural systems, especially temperature, precipitation, cloudiness, and storminess, affected by variations and changes in the Earth system that result from natural processes and human activities? How can emerging scientific findings on climate variability and change be further developed and communicated to most effectively meet the needs of policymakers and public and private sector decisionmakers, in order to enhance human well-being, strengthen the economy, and reduce risks and vulnerability of climate sensitive activities and resources?
