TL;DR: The new model is considered to be better fit, and more precise and robust compared with the previous model, and used the “counterfactual method” to evaluate the climate change impact.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the pure effect of historical and future climate change on the exposure of land and population to extreme climate impact events using an unprecedentedly large ensemble of harmonized climate impact simulations from the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project phase 2b.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitivity analysis was conducted using a suite of impact models (for health, agriculture, biodiversity, land use, floods and forestry) across Europe with respect to changes in key climate and socioeconomic variables.

TL;DR: This study tested two downscaling methods using the same regionally aggregated sulfur emissions scenario obtained from the Asian-Pacific Integrated Model/Computable General Equilibrium model, and found little evidence of a significant difference between the two methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated to what extent the existing policies of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government could contribute to climate change adaptation, based on a comprehensive examination of targeted fields and indicators for which adaptation policies could be pursued.
