Addressing climate information needs at the regional level: the CORDEX framework
TL;DR: The need for climate change information at the regional-to-local scale is one of the central issues within the global change debate as mentioned in this paper, and such information is necessary in order to assess the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems and to develop suitable adaptation and mitigation strategies at the national level.
