📢 New Publication Alert
Our recent study on the response of #endangeredplantspecies Tecomella undulata, a #keystonespecies in #drylandecosystems in #India, to #climatechange since the LGM to #sharedsocioeconomicpathways in the future was published in the #JournalofAridEnvironments.
The #SharedSocioeconomicPathways (#SSPs) have become an integral component of #IntegratedAssessment and #Climate research - and now, it's time for an update of the underlying #GDP & #population projections.
Visit https://data.ece.iiasa.ac.at/ssp for the SSP Release 3.0 (January 2024) and register for the webinar (February 8, 15:00 CET) at https://www.iamconsortium.org/event/joint-iamc-iconics-webinar-updated-ssp-socioeconomic-projections/ ...
Most quantitative scenarios used by the #IPCC are based on the #SharedSocioeconomicPathways (or #SSP), implemented in process-based #IntegratedAssessment models - these are not DICE-style models.
Here explained well by #CarbonBrief:

Working out the best ways to tackle climate change is one of the key challenges facing policymakers both today and in the decades ahead. To inform these decisions, scientists and economists have developed a suite of tools known as “Integrated assessment models” (IAMs).
The #SharedSocioEconomicPathways (#SSP) are the foundation of #ClimateChange #Mitigation research - but the underlying national projections 📈 of #GDP and #population are outdated...
So the #IAMconsortium & #ICONICS are starting an update & review 📝 process! Please contribute and comment on the review-projections!
