Scenario context Sample Clauses

Scenario context. In 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC, 2007) and is currently preparing the Fifth Assessment Report. A set of scenarios was developed by different authors in the frame of the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) for the time horizon up to the year 2100. These scenarios were used to analyze the feasibility of meeting a range of climate stabilization targets. They encompass a multi-sector and multi-GHG perspective and focus not only on energy but also on the agriculture and forestry sectors. The scenarios not only investigate mitigation potentials across these sectors but also investigate important interdependencies like competition for land use between sectors. The scenarios consider the impacts of climate change e.g. changes in agricultural production or water needed for agricultural production (Xxxxxx et al., 2000). The IPCC uses General Circulation Models (GCMs) to construct and apply climate change scenarios to climate change impact assessments. The GCM data are available as monthly means, and as 20- and 30-year monthly climates for the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report and 1995 IPCC Second Assessment Report. The data were collected by the IPCC Task Group on data and scenario support for Impact and Climate Analysis (TGIGA) and contain data on atmospheric composition, land use and land cover, sea level, water availability and water quality. The SRES scenarios comprise four storylines, which yield four sets of scenarios called “families”. The sets of scenarios consist of six scenario groups drawn from four families; one group in A2, B1 and B2 and three groups within the A1 family, which characterize alternative developments of energy technologies such as A1FI (fossil fuel intensive), A1B (balanced) and A1T (predominantly non-fossil fuel). The “HS” stands for harmonized assumptions on global population, gross world product and final energy. “OS” denotes scenarios that explore uncertainties in driving forces beyond harmonized scenarios. The four main storylines are: ▪ A1 (global economic) describes very rapid economic growth, rapid development and the introduction of new technologies, a large increase in global food demand, less emphasis on food quality and environmental issues. It includes rapid market-driven growth, with convergence in incomes and culture and rapid technological change; ▪ A2 (regional economic) describes less concern for rapi...
