The impact of climate change at both global and regional scales; B. Long-term mitigation pathways and the need for negative emission technologies and nature-based mitigation solutions; C. The role of ESM2025 in international research initiatives such as the next phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP7).
