A large insurance company in South America expands use of climate scenario analysis. The company used RCPs in previous scenario analyses but now hires an actuary with climate expertise to incorporate SSPs in this process.
How can the actuary advise the insurance company use SSPs going forward?

  • A. Demonstrate how SSP and RCP trajectories typically show contradictory emissions trend trajectories.
  • B. Combine SSPs with different RCPs to assess climate policy options.
  • C. Eventually replace SSPs with RCPs by integrating underlying data assumptions.
  • D. Use SSPs to provide alternative emissions pathways to RCPs.

Selected Answer: B
The SSP base scenarios deliberately do not include climate policies. The reasoning is that the SSPs can be combined with different RCPs to explore the climate policy options and assumptions that are necessary to limit global warm-ing to a particular target level.
