Table 2 The four emission scenarios
Emission | Description |
|---|---|
SSP1–2.6 | SSP1 (Low forcing scenario) Upgrade to RCP2.6 scenario based on (Radiative forcing reaches 2.6 W/m2 in 2100) |
SSP2–4.5 | SSP2 (Medium forcing scenario) Upgrade to RCP4.5 scenario based on (Radiative forcing reaches 4.5 W/m2 in 2100) |
SSP3–7.0 | SSP3 (Medium forcing scenario) New RCP7.0 emission path based on (Radiative forcing will reach 7.0 W/m2 in 2100) |
SSP5–8.5 | SSP5 (High forcing scenario) Upgrade to RCP8.5 scenario based on (SSP5 is the only SSP scenario that can achieve radiative forcing to 8.5 W/m2 in 2100) |
