Figure 68. The IPCC Working Groups span the breadth
of issues associated with understanding and responding to climate change,
and recognise the feedbacks and flow-on effects in terms of both information
and actions. This is inherent in the IPCC methodology for using greenhouse
gas emission scenarios as input to biogeochemical and physical climate
models to produce projections of alternative climate futures. In turn these
are used in impact sensitivity studies as an aid to decision making on the
optimum balance between the complementary strategies of mitigation and
adaptation.
