The use of radiative forcing to understand emissions trajectories was then paired with varied political pathways to generate Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). These scenarios are used in climate models to simulate various outcomes based on emissions trajectories, helping researchers assess climate system responses to different forcings.
