This dissertation was written as part of the MSc in Environmental Management & Sustainability at the International Hellenic University. This review paper aims to study and categorise as much as possible climate change impact models. Hence, it tries to be a useful tool for impact researchers, by providing the required information for every recorded model. More specifically, the review is structured in seven different sectors: water, carbon, agriculture, land, forest, fisheries and biosphere. Each of these sectors try to provide a deep understanding of how the climate change affects and what are the potential impacts of this variability. However, this paper does not include the potential economic impacts since it is an indirect climate change effect. General Atmospheric Circulation Models and Sea Level Rise Models are not included too. Furthermore, each sector is analysed and several climate impact models are presented. Special features, modelling approaches and required datasets are analysed too. Finally, modelling gaps and flaws are mentioned in order to provide ways of improvements.
