Participatory downscaling of global SSP–RCP scenarios to local fisheries social–ecological systems - Sustainability Science Policymakers and managers need projections of the trajectories of change in human societies and natural ecosystems to plan actions to address the potential consequences of global change. There are…

🌊 #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) downscaled IPCC scenarios for French fisheries (North Sea & Mediterranean), revealing 83% shared themes but 30% unique local details. Co-created with stakeholders, these scenarios can guide local adaptation to climate change.

🌊 Climate change reshapes oceans & fisheries, but regional impacts are uncertain. #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) shows global models predict bigger fish biomass declines than regional ones, especially in CMIP6. More research needed to improve predictions.

🌊 #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) developed a new standardised protocol and workflow to improve climate change projections in marine ecosystems. Improves model comparisons & policy planning for fisheries!
