Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6)

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) is an international effort where climate scientists run advanced computer simulations of Earth's climate using various models. These simulations help analyze past, present, and future climate changes, especially how factors like greenhouse gases influence global warming. By comparing results from different models, scientists improve understanding, identify uncertainties, and inform policymakers about climate risks. CMIP6 provides a standardized framework for these studies, supporting global collaboration and advancing our knowledge of climate systems and potential impacts.
