    Liberia had an estimated 4.3 million
    hectares of forests in 2011, comprising approximately 50
    percent of Liberia’s landmass. These forests support very
    high levels of biodiversity, provide a wide range of
    ecosystem services (for example, bush meat, medicines,

    The new scenario framework facilitates the coupling of multiple socioeconomic reference pathways with climate model products using the representative concentration pathways. This will allow for improved assessment of climate impacts, adaptation and mitigation. Assumptions about climate policy play a major role in linking socioeconomic futures with forcing and climate outcomes. The paper presents the concept of shared climate policy assumptions as an important element of the new scenario framework.
