Summary:
This project quantifies, spatially explicitly, at global scale and within an internally consistent data and modelling framework (LPJmL), i) impacts of projected future climate change on the world’s freshwater resources (river discharge, soil moisture, blue-green water scarcity), ii) subsequent impacts on ecosystems, food production (agriculture and livestock) and, thus, on human societies, iii) the potential of different adaptation options mitigating these impacts. The studies are based on the full range of the most recent IPCC climate and socioeconomic change scenarios, focused on impacts beyond 2K mean global warming.
