The climate calculated by the GCM is used as input at the edges of the RCM for factors such as temperature and wind. RCMs can then resolve the local impacts given small scale information about orography (land height) and land use, giving weather and climate information at resolutions as fine as 50 or 25km.
Population assumptions range widely, from a low world population projection of 7.1 billion to a high of 15 billion in 2100. The climate change models driven by these scenarios indicate that higher population growth in the future is associated with more emissions (see Figure 2), with a few exceptions.nvestments that expand access to family planning could help to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience in the face of climate change impacts.
