With climate change adaptation now being inevitable, demand for accurate climate projections is growing. However, uncertainty in future projections, especially at regional scales, remains sizable and originates from a mix of reducible and irreducible sources. We will review the main sources of projection uncertainty across scales and climate model generations, before discussing prospects of constraining them at examples of regional temperature and precipitation of potential relevance to future water resource management
