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

Temporal range
---------------------------------------------------
Number of land & coastal regions and open-ocean regions where each Climatic Impact-Drivers (CID) is projected to increase or decrease with high confidence or medium confidence. 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.

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’.

| Title | Caption for Figure SPM.9 from the Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) |
| Abstract | Synthesis of the number of AR6 WGI reference regions where climatic impact-drivers are projected to change A total of 35 climatic impact-drivers (CIDs) grouped into seven types are shown: heat and cold, wet and dry, wind, snow and ice, coastal, open ocean and other. For each CID, the bar in the graph below displays the number of AR6 WGI reference regions where it is projected to change. The colours represent the direction of change and the level of confidence in the change: purple indicates an increase while brown indicates a decrease; darker and lighter shades refer to high and medium confidence, respectively. Lighter background colours represent the maximum number of regions for which each CID is broadly relevant. Panel a) shows the 30 CIDs relevant to the land and coastal regions while panel b) shows the 5 CIDs relevant to the open ocean regions. Marine heatwaves and ocean acidity are assessed for coastal ocean regions in panel a) and for open ocean regions in panel b). 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. Definitions of the regions are provided in Atlas.1 and the Interactive Atlas (see interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch). {Table TS.5, Figure TS.22, Figure TS.25, 11.9, 12.2, 12.4, Atlas.1} (Table SPM.1) |
