TL;DR: In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Concerning on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC).

TL;DR: An integrated global ocean assessment of climate change impacts using an ensemble of multiple climate and ecosystem models reveals that global marine animal biomass will decline under all emission scenarios, driven by increasing temperature and decreasing primary production.

TL;DR: In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Concerning on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A majority of models underestimate the extremeness of impacts in important sectors such as agriculture, terrestrial ecosystems, and heat-related human mortality, while impacts on water resources and hydropower are overestimated in some river basins; and the spread across models is often large.

TL;DR: The Fish-MIP protocol as mentioned in this paper is designed to allow these heterogeneous models to be forced with common Earth System Model (ESM) CMIP5 outputs under prescribed scenarios for historic (from 1950s) and future (to 2100) time periods; it will be adapted to CMIP6 in future iterations.
