Intro#

Overview#

Up to today, you have studied models of our climate system. Today, we will begin to model the (in many ways more complex!) system of society’s economy and how climate impacts them.

Day Learning Objectives#

  1. Describe the motivation behind the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) framework, and explain how the 5 pathways differ from one another in both climate and socioeconomic aspects using CMIP6 data and integrated assessment modeling results, respectively.

  2. Examine the strengths and weaknesses of SSP-focussed integrated assessment modeling practice and understand how these support and weaken the IPCC report’s conclusions, respectively.

  3. Examine the socioeconomic factors at the origin of anthropogenic warming and a Just Transition.
