The CMIP6 models for the present and future climates, along with the range of signals, are considered for temperature and precipitation analyses under the three new future pathways of societal development called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which are: a low-forcing scenario SSP1–2.6, a medium-forcing scenario SSP2–4.5, and a high-forcing scenario SSP5–8.5.
Note that SSPs are based on five narratives that describe alternative socio-economic developments (Riahi et al. 2017): sustainable development (SSP1), middle-of-the-road development (SSP2), regional rivalry (SSP3), inequality (SSP4), and fossil–fuels development (SSP5).
