1 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Future Directions (for the AR5) Future Directions in Globally Coordinated Climate Change Research Primary Sources: IPCC Expert Meeting on New Scenarios + CMIP5 Plans

2 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Future Directions (for the AR5) New Scenarios “long-term” scenarios  2100 and ultimately  2300 “long-term” scenarios  2100 and ultimately  2300 - climate targets for avoiding risks - long term strategies for mitigation & adaptation Global scenarios for two time periods “near-term” scenarios  2035 “near-term” scenarios  2035 - potential for “prediction” - directly linked to policy planning

3 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Future Directions (for the AR5) Approaches to Scenario Development Previous (e.g., SRES)Planned (e.g., RCP)

4 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Future Directions (for the AR5) Expected Representative Concentration Pathways RCP8.5 > 8.5 W/m 2 in 2100 > 8.5 W/m 2 in 2100 rising risingRCP6 ~ 6 W/m 2 in 2100 ~ 6 W/m 2 in 2100 stabilization stabilizationRCP4.5 4.5 W/m 2 in 2100 4.5 W/m 2 in 2100 stabilization stabilizationRCP3-PD peak 3 W/m 2 before 2100 peak 3 W/m 2 before 2100 decline after peak decline after peak
