Standard research communication may fail to engage policymakers, media and the public at large . Rather, policies and decision making tend to be based on narratives and storylines . Although mathematical models and narratives are often presumed to be antithetical, in practice they may be complementary and work together . Communicating research insights through storylines and narratives may have a better chance of transmitting key messages. AR6 employs these communication tools in many places, for instance storylines for constructing and communicating regional climate information or climate services  or 'low likelihood high warming storylines' . To better communicate deep uncertainty in sea level rise projections, WGI uses storylines to describe the physical events that would have to unfold to generate its high-end estimates .
