Abstract	In this report, we present future climate projections for Polk County relevant to specified natural hazards for the 2020s (2010–2039) and 2050s (2040–2069) relative to the 1971–2000 historical baseline. We present projections that are based on multiple global climate models for both a lower greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 4.5) and a higher emissions scenario (RCP 8.5). Unless otherwise noted, all projections in this executive summary refer to the 2050s, relative to the historical baseline, under the higher emissions scenario. Projections for both time periods and emissions scenarios, and potential consequences for assets given current demographic data and projected population trends, are included in the main report.
