Increasingly reliable regional climate change projectionsare now available for many regions of the world due to advances in modellingand understanding of the physical processes of the climate system.  This chapter describes  the robust findings of the projected regionalchange over the 21st century. These changes are assessed as likely to verylikely taking into account the uncertainties in climate sensitivity andemission trajectories (in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES)B1/A1B/B2 scenario range) discussed in earlier chapters.NOTA: No fue posible copiar aquí el resumen de este capítulo dado que supera largamente el espacio permitido en SIGEVAChristensen, J.H., B.
