%V Part 1
%X The global change research community has recognized that new pathway and scenario  concepts are needed to implement impact and vulnerability assessment where  precise prediction is not possible, and also that these scenarios need to be logically  consistent across local, regional, and global scales (Moss et al., 2008, 2010). For  global climate models, representative concentration pathways (RCPs) have been  developed that provide a range of time-series of atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations  into the future (Moss et al., 2008, 2010; van Vuuren et al., 2012a). For  impact and vulnerability assessment, new socio-economic pathway and scenario  concepts have also been developed (Kriegler, 2012; van Vuuren et al., 2012b), with  leadership from the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC)...
