Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) is a collaborative effort where climate scientists use advanced computer models to simulate Earth's climate system. By running these models under different scenarios, they can compare results to better understand past climate changes and predict future trends. CMIP5 provides a standardized framework, allowing scientists globally to share data and improve modeling accuracy. Its findings help inform policymakers about climate change impacts, guiding efforts to mitigate and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
