What are the names of the 4 scenarios the IPCC have suggested for future climate change?
The six families of scenarios discussed in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report (TAR) and Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) are A1FI, A1B, A1T, A2, B1, and B2.
How do I cite the 4th IPCC report?
When referencing the group of FAQs, please cite as: IPCC, 2007: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [Solomon, S., D.
What does RCP 8.5 stand for?
RCP 8.5 refers to the concentration of carbon that delivers global warming at an average of 8.5 watts per square meter across the planet. The RCP 8.5 pathway delivers a temperature increase of about 4.3˚C by 2100, relative to pre-industrial temperatures.
What are the IPCC RCP scenarios?
21st century
| SSP Scenario | Range of Global Mean Temperature Increase (Celsius) – 2100 from pre-Industrial baseline |
|---|---|
| RCP 2.6 | ~1.5 to ~2 |
| RCP 3.4 | ~2 to ~2.4 |
| RCP 4.5 | ~2.5 to ~3 |

What does RCP 4.5 stand for?
Representative Concentration Pathway
Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 is a scenario of long-term, global emissions of greenhouse gases, short-lived species, and land-use-land- cover which stabilizes radiative forcing at 4.5 Watts per meter squared (W m- 2, approximately 650 ppm CO2-equivalent) in the year 2100 without ever.
