They served as the starting point for the identification of internallyĬonsistent assumptions for the quantification of SSP elements. The narratives describe the main characteristics of the SSP future development pathways. The SSP quantifications build upon the collaborative effort between the IAV and IAM community, which have met in a series of meetings and identified a limited set Together, these two axes describe situations in which mitigation, adaptation and residual climate damage can be evaluated. ) and socio-economic conditions on the other. The framework is built around a matrix that combines climate forcing on one axis (as represented by the Representative Concentration Pathways: Information about the scenario process and the SSP framework can be found in Impacts, vulnerabilities, adaptation, and mitigation.

The SSPs are part of a new framework that the climate change research community has adopted to facilitate the integrated analysis of future climate Scenarios (for an overview see Riahi et al, 2017). The SSP database aims at the documentation of quantitative projections of the so-called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and related Integrated Assessment Nine of these harmonized SSP IAM emissions projections were provided to the ScenarioMIP of CMIP6 (the Climate Modelling Intercomparison Project 6) and will be part of the detailed assessment of possible future climate changes.įor a citation of the data please see here.Ĭhanges since Release Version 1.1: Introduction
