Future Impacts, Risks and Mitigation Actions in a changing Earth system

LEARN MORE

Reliable guidance on the risks and impacts of future climate change, combined with robust information on mitigation options for limiting future change, are urgently required.

The project

We will deliver a suite of novel future climate projections, and an assessment of the leading mitigation options available to limit future climate change.

Our objectives

Our objective is to advance our understanding and quantification of future Earth System change and mitigation options.
