Climate scnarios

A climate agreement with one climate scenario,

Comparison scenarios developed by the research community

One scenario adopted by the Intervental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from the research community.

All acknowledge the socioenconomic impacts such as the increased burden that disadvantaged people will face due to climate change

All acknowledge the role of humans in the recent increases in Green House Gas emmissions and global warming

Contrasts

Comparisons

Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP): a set of climate change scenarios (van Vuuren, et al., 2011; Uejio, et al., 2021).

Phase 3" integration and dissemination

Phase 2: Parallel development phase of climate model runs

Variables: New socio-economic scenarios considered

Phase 1: Development of RCPs

Variables: containing emissions, concentraitions, land-use trajectory

Forecasts are based on carbon-cycle climate models and integrated assessment models (IAMs)

Question A. 1. Describe the Paris Climate Accord or the Paris Agreement. 2. How does it work 3. what are its policy arms from a global perspective. 4. How is it supported financially? 5. Compare and contrast the goals of the Paris Agreement with another RCP scenario and its potential climate change impacts.

Paris Climate Agreement: a legally binding international treaty on climate change.

Policy of assistance: Developed countries support developing countries

By providing Capacity Building support

Technically

Financially

Policy reviews: Current Period: every 5 years

each countries progress is reviewed

Policy actions: Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) of each country

Build resilience actions

Assure that resilience does not widen health diaparities between privagedged underprilvaleged people. There must be equal access to means of

Climate actions

Financial plan

Policy goals: Slow global warming by reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions to 2 degrees C (preferably 1.5 C) compared to pre-industrial levels. Equivalent to the RCP 1.9.

Global economic changes

Example: Support clean energy-related jobs

Global social changes

Improved climate consciousness

Develop socioencomic and gender equality in the supporting job sector

Examples: decrease reliance on dietary animal protein, stricter GHG emmission requirements Decreased reliance of fossil fuels, Stop deforrestation
