Next generation climate models: a step change for net zero and climate adaptation

It was only with the advent Building on the established strengths in of computers in the 1950s, that climate models, simulating physical weather and climate, Earth capable of simulating the response of the system processes have been added to the global circulation, were developed alongside models in recent years with the introduction of numerical weather prediction systems. [...] 2 CLIMATE CHANGE : SCIENCE AND SOLUTIONS NEXT GENERATION CLIMATE MODELS Climate models, and the predictions made for involve the physical climate system, for example different emission scenarios, form much of the rapid icesheet loss or collapse of the oceans’ Despite huge bedrock of the evidence base for mitigation and thermohaline circulation, as well as the terrestrial adaptation7. [...] and technology The viability of national and international have advanced to emission mitigation policies must be tested The scale of the potential investments in the point where a using assessments based on climate model adaptation and the increasing vulnerability of simulations and predictions. [...] The twin goals of the Earth system, sharing its outputs with the bring challenges of net zero and climate resilience require a whole world and acting as the hub of a network that can only substantial acceleration in the delivery of action- of national climate facilities. [...] The The twin goals models is becoming the domain of the few; the overarching goal would be to deliver kilometre- of net zero human, computing, data and energy resources scale global climate predictions and services, and climate required are substantial and are beginning to which can be accessed by all nations according resilience require exceed the capacities of individual nations.
