Scientific guidelines
to facilitate the use of climate projections
The Scientific guidelines to facilitate the use of climate projections provides recommendations on the information to be considered in climate change risk analysis. Based on current scientific knowledge, these recommendations aim to better understand certain concepts of climate modeling and are intended to inform the choice of:
-
climate models
-
emission scenarios (greenhouse gases, particulate aerosols, land use)
-
time horizons and reference periods
-
percentiles
The information contained in this document is based on the most up-to-date scientific knowledge. It will be updated, as necessary, to reflect new developments.
