- Global climate-modeling groups run coordinated simulations every six to seven years to examine possible future climate changes.
- The scenarios assess how emissions and climate action could shape future warming.
- Their simulations provide important material for the IPCC’s assessment reports, while the article highlights that room for hope remains alongside climate risks.
What will the climate future look like? New climate scenarios are examining how emissions and climate protection efforts could influence the warming ahead.
Every six or seven years, climate-modeling groups around the world conduct a coordinated series of simulations. The exercises explore how the climate could change under different future conditions.
These simulations form an important basis for the forecasts used in the assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The picture presented by the new scenarios lies between climate risks and the possibilities for action, with room for hope still remaining.
