Describing Socioeconomic Futures for Climate Change Research and Assessment
- Share to:
The Workshop on Describing Socioeconomic Futures for Climate Change Research and Assessment was organized in response to increas- ing recognition by the international research community working to ana- lyze the consequences of climate change that improved socioeconomic scenarios are needed to understand climate change vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity. The need for improved analysis of feedbacks between human and climate systems was one of the themes that emerged from an international workshop organized by the National Research Coun- cil’s (NRC’s) Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Change to consider lessons learned about analysis of climate change vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation from the experience of Working Group II in the Fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment (National Research Council, 2009b). The need is pressing, both in relation to the IPCC’s future tasks and to the research communities working on projecting and considering the long-term impacts of climate change.
