5 International programs feed the IPCC reports This is the case of CMIP5, the new WCRP Coupled Model Intercomparison Program, which should constitute a strong contribution to the IPCC AR5

25 Climate projections on regional and local scales Performance of current AOGCMs (like those from CMIP3) deteriorate when looking at finer temporal and spatial scales which are needed for many impact assessment studies.

26 All regional studies must be adapted to a specific context
