"Regional climate change projections for the ten regions of Victoria show what we can expect from our climate in the future.

The regional projections are based on information from 23 global climate models from different research groups around the world.

The reports project temperature and rainfall in each region for 2030 and 2070 under three different emissions scenarios:

- lower emissions growth, assuming a rapid shift to less fossil-fuel intensive industries
- medium emissions growth, assuming a balanced use of different emissions sources, not just fossil fuel
- higher emissions growth, assuming a continuation of strong economic growth based on continued dependence on fossil fuels..."
