How Do ‘Future Climate Scenarios’ Shape Climate Science and Inform Policy? 

Union of Concerned Scientists

By examining possible trajectories for global economic development, technology adoption, and policy actions, the driving forces behind emissions, these scenarios help us assess a range of potential climate futures. levels of cooperation or competition among countries, technology adoption, and inequality) in terms of radiative forcing.

Perspective: More Attention Needed on Freshwater Biodiversity

Circle of Blue

Yet conservation funding centers on lands and oceans. There are more kinds of freshwater fish—18,075 and counting—than there are fish species living in the oceans and seas. Freshwater species are dying off and decreasing in abundance. Boats ply the waters of the Mekong River Delta, near Can Tho, Vietnam. Carl Ganter/Circle of Blue.

Investors Need to Know the Full Scope of Corporate Carbon Emissions

Union of Concerned Scientists

For example, researchers at the Union of Concerned Scientists have directly linked fossil fuel producers’ Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions to increases in ocean acidification , global temperature, sea level rise and North American wildfires. That also means they play the largest role in climate-related environmental changes.
