Climate and energy scenario and projection comparison. Draft workflow & typology

We discuss the nature of scenario and scenario projection comparisons. We aim to contribute to increasing the value of such comparisons by drafting of a typology which structures these comparisons according to important elements that are currently, to our knowledge, not yet explicitly spelled out in
