From single projection to many possibilities: A new tool for climate risk assessment

Assessing how climate change will affect different regions usually requires running a complex chain of models.

While this approach provides valuable insights, it is expensive and can cover only a limited set of scenarios and model runs.

Together with partners, IIASA researchers have developed a faster alternative that uses available projections from Earth system or climate impact models to generate new regional climate and impact projections while capturing the uncertainty essential for understanding climate risk. ...
