Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure SPM.9 (v20220105)

Data for Figure SPM.9 from the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure SPM.9 provides a synthesis of the number of AR6 WGI reference regions where climatic impact-drivers are projected to change. --------------------------------------------------- How to cite this dataset --------------------------------------------------- When citing this dataset, please include both the data citation below (under 'Citable as') and the following citation for the report component from which the figure originates: IPCC, 2021: Summary for Policymakers.

Changes refer to a 20–30 year period centred around 2050 and/or consistent with 2°C global warming compared to a similar period within 1960-2014, except for hydrological drought and agricultural and ecological drought which is compared to 1850-1900. --------------------------------------------------- Figure subpanels --------------------------------------------------- The figure has two panels, with data provided for all panels in a single file named consolidated_data_figure_SPM9.csv --------------------------------------------------- List of data provided --------------------------------------------------- This dataset contains the number of AR6 WGI regions where climatic impact-drivers are projected to change if a global warming level of 2°C is reached compared to a climatological reference period included within 1960-2014. --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- Data file: consolidated_data_figure_SPM.9.csv (count of regions with increasing or decreasing changes in climatic impact-drivers); relates to panel (a) and panel (b) and it's shown by the bars in the figure. The first row of data relates to the darker purple bars, the second row to the lighter purple bars, the third row to the lighter brown bars and the fourth row to the darker brown bars. Row 5 represents the maximum number of regions for which each climatic impact-driver is relevant. It is shown on the figure as the lighter-shaded ‘envelope’. --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to origin of figure (IPCC WG1 Summary for Policy Makers) - Link to the report webpage, which includes the report component containing the figure (Summary for Policymakers) - Link to the Interactive Atlas webpage - Link to the figure on the IPCC AR6 website
