The definitions below refer to Adaptation to Climate Change.

Definitions

European Definitions

RESIN project

The RESIN project [1] gives the following definition:

A climate projection is the simulated response of the climate system to a scenario of future emission or concentration of greenhouse gases and aerosols, generally derived using climate models.[2]


Other International Definitions

National Definitions

Denmark

Klimafremskrivninger: Femskrivninger af, hvordan klimaet på Jorden ændrer sig som følge af øget koncentration af drivhusgasser i atmosfæren. [3]



Germany

Climate projections attempt to forecast how the climate will change in response to emissions of varying quantities and types of greenhouse gas. [4]



Rwanda

{{definition|Climate projection A projection of the response of the climate system to emissions or concentration scenarios of greenhouse gases and aerosols, or radiative forcing scenarios, often based upon simulations by climate models. [5]

United States

AMS
Climate (change) prediction: The prediction of various aspects of the climate of a region during some future period of time. [6]
