Annex 1 Emissions scenarios used in UKCP09

Rachel Warren, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, UEA.

Each of the SRES emissions scenarios used in UKCP09 suggests a different pathway of economic and social change over the course of the 21st Century. Changes in population, economic growth, technologies, energy intensity, and land use are considered in the emissions scenarios. They do not assume any planned mitigation measures and cannot currently be assigned probabilities.
