The CH2018 scenarios in use

Abstract

This report is the result of a joint effort by several Swiss institutions under the umbrella of the National Center for Climate Services (NCCS), with major inputs from MeteoSwiss, ETH Zurich, the Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM), the University of Bern, and the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF/WSL). It provides the most accurate, up-to-date, and coherent climate information available to support assessments of climate change impacts and decisions about adaptation and mitigation in Switzerland. It builds on previous scenario efforts and assesses past and future changes in the physical climate system of Switzerland.
