A review of Storylines applied in global environmental assessments.

"This deliverable comprises the storylines/narratives are inputs to the modelling which are assumed or determined exogenous to the model and people decisions, and therefore clearly separated from the policy measures and objectives which are created by the decisions. Review of storylines usually applied in global environmental assessments with an emphasis on IPCC/Climate Change scenarios/Special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 ºC/WORKING GROUP III, currently being written, will be performed. This review will include: - Qualitative interpretation of the storylines for model assumptions (e.g.) economy, population, average temperature and their interactions. - Quantitative interpretation of the storylines for model inputs and interactions between model exogenous inputs. Identification of possible inconsistencies between the quantitative interpretations of the storylines will be performed. - Downscaling of the storylines for all the global regions according to the model geographical granularity. This deliverable summarises the work carried out in ""Task 8.3. Review of storylines/narratives usually applied in global environmental assessments and their quantification""."
