×F6. The use of Earth System Models for evaluating the climate change impacts on environment

Earth System Models  (ESM) play a key role in our understanding of future changes in global climate and environment and like any other environmental models should be validated for use in decision support. This section is to discuss the development of generic frameworks for  ESM validation,  the case studies of  ESM usage for evaluating the climate change impacts on environment, and the critical uncertainties in ESM projections.

Key topics: Earth System Models, Model validation, Climate change
