SSPscenarierna

SSPscenarierna refers to a set of scenarios developed in Sweden related to climate change and its potential impacts. The project, initiated by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of future climate conditions and their consequences for various sectors in Sweden. These scenarios are crucial for planning and adaptation strategies across different areas, including water management, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.

The scenarios are based on established climate models and consider different emission pathways, leading to a range of possible future climate developments. They typically include projections for temperature, precipitation, sea level rise, and extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall. By presenting these diverse outcomes, SSPscenarierna allows stakeholders to assess risks and vulnerabilities associated with climate change under various future possibilities.

The information generated by SSPscenarierna is intended to be accessible to policymakers, researchers, businesses, and the general public. This helps in informed decision-making and the development of effective climate adaptation measures tailored to Sweden's specific geographical and socio-economic context. The project emphasizes the importance of considering uncertainties inherent in climate projections and encourages a proactive approach to climate challenges.
