Description:

For some time now, climate scenarios that ran to the end of the century were aimed sufficiently far enough into the future to define long-term climate risks and set international emissions targets. Time has since advanced, while our modelling projection time horizons have not. The projections that were once considered outcomes our grandchildren might face now describe the potential futures of children born today.
