“…Most prior studies have utilized the CMIP5 model to conduct climate projections in Afghanistan for RCPs. Several recent studies have employed the CMIP6 model to carry out climate projections for Afghanistan's SSPs [ [33] , [34] , [35] ]. However, the scope of these investigations was quite narrow.…”
