Communicating the full extent of available information on future climate for a region, including a quantification of uncertainties, can act as a barrier to the uptake and use of such information ( [[#Lemos--2012|Lemos et al., 2012]] ; [[#Daron--2018|Daron et al., 2018]] ). To address the need to simplify and increase the relevance of information for specific contexts, recent studies have adopted narrative and storyline approaches (see Sections 1.4.4 and 10.5.3 for definitions and further discussion on these concepts; [[#Hazeleger--2015|Hazeleger et al., 2015]] ; [[#Shepherd--2018|Shepherd et al., 2018]] ). The use of region-specific climate storylines, including a role for local mechanisms, drivers and societal impacts generally requires detailed information that is typically not provided by the Interactive Atlas. However, background information and basic (scenario) assumptions can be derived from the Interactive Atlas which can be considered to provide an expert knowledge base from which to build targeted storylines and climate information.
