Description
Climate change scenarios are projections of future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impact on the climate system. These scenarios are based on a range of possible future social, economic, technological, and environmental developments. They are used by governments, planners, and businesses to understand potential risks and to develop strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. They underscore the importance of immediate and sustained action to reduce emissions to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.
