Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) Literature Database, v1, 2014-2019

The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) Literature Database, v1, 2014-2019 consists of biographic information, abstracts, and analysis of 1,360 articles published from 2014 to 2019 that used the SSPs. The database was generated from a Google Scholar search, followed by a manual examination of the results for papers that made substantial use of the SSPs. Each paper was then coded along a number of different dimensions, including categories of types of papers or analysis, number of subcategories for SSP Applications and SSP Extensions, particular Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) used, particular Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) used, and particular SSP-RCP combinations used. Over the past ten years, the climate change research commUnity developed a scenario framework combining alternative futures of climate and society to facilitate integrated research and consistent assessment to inform policy. This framework consists of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), and Shared Policy Assumptions (SPAs), which together describe alternative visions of how society and climate may evolve over the coming decades, while providing a framework for combining these pathways in integrated studies. The tracking of the use of this framework in the literature allows for assessment of how it is being used, whether it is achieving its original goals, and what improvements to the framework would benefit future research.

《共享社会经济路径（SSPs）文献数据库》版本1，2014-2019，该数据库收录了从2014年至2019年间发表的、使用SSPs的1,360篇文章的传记信息、摘要和分析。该数据库源自于Google Scholar的搜索结果，随后对结果进行人工审查，筛选出大量采用SSPs的论文。每篇论文随后按照多个不同维度进行编码，包括论文或分析的类型分类、SSP应用和SSP扩展的子类别数量、所使用的特定共享社会经济路径（SSPs）、所使用的特定代表性浓度路径（RCPs）以及所使用的特定SSP-RCP组合。在过去十年中，气候变化研究领域发展了一种结合气候与社会不同未来情景的情景框架，以促进综合研究和一致评估，为政策制定提供信息。该框架包括共享社会经济路径（SSPs）、代表性浓度路径（RCPs）和共享政策假设（SPAs），共同描绘了社会与气候在未来几十年可能演变的多种愿景，并为在综合研究中结合这些路径提供了框架。追踪该框架在文献中的使用情况，可以评估其应用方式、是否实现原始目标以及框架的哪些改进将有助于未来的研究。
