Data for Figure 6.23 from Chapter 6 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).

Figure 6.23 shows contribution from regional emissions of short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) to changes in global surface air temperature (GSAT) in 2040 and 2100, relative to 2020 for four Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs).
