AND TECHNICAL SUMMARY (TS)
Errata
Note: The following is a list of corrections to the above report. It only applies to the English printed Summary Volume, containing the SPM, TS and Annexes I, II, and III, which was issued by the IPCC before the full report was published by Cambridge University Press. The Summary Volume available online and the summaries contained in the Full Report have been corrected accordingly.
