Scientists and governments officials are currently meeting in Japan to discuss a critical report on the impact of global warming.
Members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will reportedly publish their first update on the scale of the threat since 2006, according to BBC News.
Documents leaked to the press discusses the effects on food supplies, security and on economies.
"Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability," is still in draft form, but a final markup was given to the Observer, according to UPI.
''Although it focuses on a whole analytical and sometimes depressing view of the challenges we face, it also looks at the opportunities we face,'' said Christopher B. Field, the co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, according to the Associated Press. ''This can not only help us to deal with climate change but ultimately build a better world.''
The summary is due out next Monday, but some attendees feel it is too "alarmist," according to BBC News.
Last September, a summary on the physical science of climate change was produced in Stockholm, claiming it was real and humans were the "dominant cause."
The second IPCC working group, now in Yokohama, will sell out the impact that increasing temperatures will have on animals, humans, and ecosystems over the next century.
J. Lengoasa, deputy head of the World Meteorological Organization, said countries in Africa already spend "$7 billion to $15 billion" a year on climate adaptation, according to AP.
''Time is running out. We must take action,'' he said. ''It is our obligation and our duty to inform the world of the prospects and risks that lie ahead.''
Government officials and the scientists will agree on the exact wording of the final summary within the next few days. Publication could come as early as next Monday.
"Considerably greater ambition is needed to match the scale of the global challenge posed by climate change," said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "We know what we need to do and how to do it. As we mark this anniversary, let us rediscover the commitment that brought the Convention to life."
The short, dense summary sums up the findings of 30 underlying chapters, according to BBC News.
