Details

The workshop will:

  • take stock of the contribution of scenarios to the AR6 products, and the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches adopted
  • identify any gaps in the AR6 scenario approach, taking account of the needs and expectations of government and other users
  • consider how best to build on the RCP/SSP framework adopted in AR6 and possible scenario architectures for AR7 and beyond
  • consider innovations in the scenario approach which could be pursued in concert with the relative research communities, for instance related to biodiversity
  • consider how to further develop cross-working group collaboration on the use of scenarios
  • address any improvements in the institutional mechanisms for developing, applying and curating scenario data and the respective roles of IPCC and the modelling communities (the role of TG Data is relevant in this respect)
  • consider how the diversity of contributors to scenario-building processes could be improved

Experts

The panel agreed that the workshop would engage modelers and scenario builders from the WG I, II and III domains as well as scientists from a range of disciplines and scenario users in governments and other stakeholder groups.

Relevant communities include:

  • modelers and scenario builders with expertise in the physical science, natural and socioeconomic aspects
  • experts on the physical science of climate change
  • domain experts in adaptation and mitigation
  • experts in biodiversity and ecosystem services
  • scientists with relevant cross-cutting socio-economic perspectives, such as economists and social scientists

How to apply

Discussions are under way for the workshop to be held in late April or early May 2023.

Experts are invited to submit:

  • a completed nomination form
  • their CV (2 to 4 pages, in pdf format)

Applications are now closed.
