Long-term global scenarios have underpinned research and assessment of global
environmental change for four decades. Over the past ten years, the climate change …

This paper presents the overview of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and their
energy, land use, and emissions implications. The SSPs are part of a new scenario …

Projections of future climate change play a fundamental role in improving understanding of
the climate system as well as characterizing societal risks and response options. The …

Investigation of the pressing impacts of climate change on drought is vital for sustainable
societal and ecosystem functioning. The magnitude of how much the drought will change …

Afforestation is considered a cost‐effective and readily available climate change mitigation
option. In recent studies afforestation is presented as a major solution to limit climate …

Studies of global environmental change make extensive use of scenarios to explore how the
future can evolve under a consistent set of assumptions. The recently developed Shared …

Long-term economic scenarios (up to 2100) are needed as a basis to explore possible
different futures for major environmental challenges, including climate change. Given the …

The new scenario framework for climate change research envisions combining pathways of
future radiative forcing and their associated climate changes with alternative pathways of …

The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project offers a framework to compare
climate impact projections in different sectors and at different scales. Consistent climate and …

We compare ensembles of water supply and demand projections from 10 global
hydrological models and six global gridded crop models. These are produced as part of the …
