A Problem
• Land-use is not accounted for in the forcing targets used to match RCP’s and SSP’s
• Thus, if SSP land-use diverges from the RCP’s, their climates no longer match
• Yet, land-use is an important socio-economic variable to be explored
![Page 24: Integrating albedo into integrated assessment](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052501/628b2e02729a0f6ee078322b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Some conclusions
• Albedo forcing (and climate effect) of land-use change can be quite significant
• Newer GCAM estimates lower rates of deforestation
• We can now diagnose albedo change within GCAM
• even more refined approach is coming
• Including albedo in forcing targets feeds back onto energy and land-use systems
• Less deforestation in FFICT despite forcing “bonus”

Toward a better assessment process
• Land-use change and GHG’s affect the climate in fundamentally different ways
• Same is true of aerosols
• Would we really consider a policy in which we reward aerosol emissions for cooling the planet?
• Then why do we consider RCP scenarios based on global RF targets?
• Maybe we should focus on the effect of individual forcings on regions of interest
