Abstract

The lack of information about future changes in extreme weather is a major constraint of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) of
climate change. The generation of descriptions of future climate in current IAMs is assessed.We also review recent work on scenario
development methods for weather extremes, focusing on those issues which are most relevant to the needs of IAMs. Finally, some
options for implementing scenarios of weather extremes in IAMs are considered.
