“…The development of the FAIR Guidelines started at the First IPCC AR6 Data Workshop in Hamburg, Germany, 19-20 September 2017 ) and continued at the second virtual meeting on 20 February 2018. In collaboration with the WDS, which started at the Data Repository Day 2018 (World Data System, 2018), the FAIR Guidelines concept was formulated in Stockhause et al (2019). This concept was discussed with IPCC authors of WGI and WGII at the IPCC Expert Meeting on assessing climate information for regions in Trieste, 16-18 May 2018(IPCC, 2018d.…”

Abstract. The Data Distribution Centre (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2022. The DKRZ (German Climate Computing Center; German: Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum) is the only remaining DDC Partner from the original group jointly managing the DDC. In spite of changes in prioritization, it has been supporting the IPCC Assessments and preserving the quality-assured, citable climate model data underpinning the Assessment Reports over these years over the long term. An active and engaged collaborative community achieved advances in data standardization, data management best practices, and infrastructure developments. These evolving standards are reflected in the activities of the DDC. The introduction of the IPCC FAIR Guidelines into the current Sixth IPCC Assessment Report (AR6) has significantly changed the role of the DDC Partner DKRZ from an independent partner for long-term data preservation into an active partner involved in the IPCC's Sixth Assessment cycle. As a result, the DDC has gained exposure and visibility, posing a challenge and an opportunity to operationalize the IPCC's FAIR Guidelines and long-term preservation approaches. While the value of DDC services has been recognized, DDC sustainability remains unresolved and is currently being discussed within the IPCC as part of a general AR6 review process to formulate recommendations for the AR7 data management.

Climate change alters the global distribution of leishmaniasis vector sandfly species. However, the possible effect of altering environmental factors on sandfly species varies by species and area. The aim of this study was to project the future potential effect of climate change on the Western Asian occurrence of the sandfly vector species Phlebotomus papatasi and Phlebotomus sergenti and the parasites Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica for 2041–2060 and 2081–2100 compared to their modelled climatic suitability patterns in the reference period 1970–2000. The model results suggest that by 2041–2060 and 2081–2100, in the coastal areas of the Levantine countries and the mid-elevation regions of Western Iran and Southeast Turkey, the climatic suitability of all the studied species is predicted to increase. In contrast, the model results suggest the decline of the populations of the studied vectors as well as the disappearance of the parasites in Iraq, North Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the inland regions of Western Asian countries. Considering the present-day population density patterns, it can be said that although in large regions of the region, the climatic suitability values are predicted to decrease, the populated Levantine regions seem to be at risk of climate change-facilitated increase in cutaneous leishmaniasis in the second half of the twenty-first century. The model results suggest that climate change will especially increase the climatic suitability of Leishmania tropica in the Levantine region in the late twenty-first century.

Emissions scenarios have always been a crucial part of IPCC reports. They are instrumental to the shared assessment of climate research and to its policy relevance. Since the early days of climate change research, the number of emissions and mitigation scenarios in the literature has grown exponentially. An infrastructure was developed to collect, standardize, and share increasing amounts of scenarios data. The Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) community and IIASA have led this work. This infrastructure is central to the work of the IPCC Working Group III, but it also serves to coordinate and disseminate scenarios research. Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this article focuses on the AR6 Scenarios Database as a keystone in this infrastructure and as a site where tensions regarding the role and mandate of the IPCC are play. It retraces the co-evolution of IPCC Scenarios Databases and of the IAM community, and shows how the AR6 Scenarios Database compares and contrasts with previous Scenarios Databases. It then unpacks how ambitions to enhance diversity and transparency in the AR6 Working Group III use of scenarios translated in the design and use of the AR6 database. It analyses the attempt to expand the scope of the database beyond IAMs and discusses the challenges encountered in the process.
