climate scenarios

Climate scenarios are projections of how the Earth's climate could change in the future based on different assumptions about factors like greenhouse gas emissions, technological advancements, and societal behaviors. They help scientists and policymakers understand potential impacts, risks, and necessary adaptations. Typically, scenarios vary from optimistic (where we take strong action to reduce emissions) to pessimistic (where we do little or nothing). By exploring these scenarios, we can better prepare for various possible futures and make informed decisions to mitigate climate change and its effects on ecosystems and human societies.
