- in the `UN` folder, the demographic projections from UN

- `IAMstat.xlsx`, an overview file of the metadata accompanying the scenarios present in the IPCC databases

- `RFF.csv`, an overview file containing the population projections obtained by Resources For the Future 

'- the remaining `.csv` files with names `AR6#`, `AR5#`, `IAMC15#` contain the IPCC scenarios assessed by the IPCC for preparing the IPCC assessment reports. They can be downloaded from AR5,  SR 1.5, and AR6
