While the IPCC is in the midst of the drafting cycle of the Sixth Assessment Report, whose publication will start in the second half of 2021 - one of the most relevant events for the global climate change community, there is an ongoing debate on how to assess the feasibility of ambitious climate mitigation scenarios developed through integrated assessment models and to what extent they are actually achievable in the real world. In their new study published in
Environmental Research Letters, researchers from the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and IIASA developed a systematic framework that allows identifying the type, timing, and location of feasibility concerns raised by climate mitigation scenarios.
High resolution climate models can improve predictions of extreme rainfall events. An international study involving CMCC scientists presents the first multi-model ensemble of high-resolution regional climate models and offers a promising prospect for studies on climate and climate change at local and regional scales.

What drives the feasibility of climate scenarios commonly reviewed by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)? And can they actually be achieved in practice? A new systematic framework can help understand what to improve in the next generation of scenarios and explore how to make ambitious emission reductions possible by strengthening enabling conditions.

Monday, May 3rd 2021, 5:05 pm - Researchers warn that “ultra-extreme” heat events could become commonplace by 2050 in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sprawling deserts and hyperacidic hot springs are located in parts of the Middle East and North Africa where some of the hottest temperatures on Earth have been recorded.
While the one billion people that live this region are accustomed to harsh conditions and extremely hot weather, scientists warn that warming atmospheric temperatures will have significant impacts on the part of the world and a study published in
