In close collaboration with stakeholders of key societally relevant systems, it co-produces national and regional socioeconomic narratives as extensions of global shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). Using recent global climate model simulation results, a set of national and regional future climate projections will be prepared, with new analysis on extreme weather and compound events and preparation of climate and impact storylines. Narratives and climate projections are combined into integrated, system-wide SSP-based scenarios for Finnish sub-regions and nationally. Design, development and application of the scenarios are demonstrated in case studies of relevance for research and policy. Emphasis is placed on effective dissemination of project outcomes at regional, national and international level.News 2021-02-17: How may global changes affect the future of Finland's agricultural and food economy? 2020-11-26: Scientists assess framework for depicting different futures under changing climate Publications FINSCAPES Info 1/2021 FINSCAPES: Finnish scenarios for climate change research.
