Climate impact explorer
by Climate Analytics
in collaboration with the Network for Greening the Financial System, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and ETH Zürich
This tool shows how the severity of climate change impacts will increase over time in continents, countries and provinces at different levels of warming, starting with 1.5°C, the limit in the Paris Agreement. It also allows access to the underlying data.
What information does the Climate Impact Explorer provide?
Using graphs and maps, this tool shows how the severity of a broad range of climate impacts will change over time in all continents and countries down to the province level, at different levels of global warming, which depend on how rapidly governments cut their greenhouse gas emissions.
Which scenarios can be explored?
Our default scenario is the trajectory estimated to arise from governments’ current emission reduction efforts that is used by the Network for Greening the Financial System. Other scenarios, such as those from the Climate Action Tracker or the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) used by the IPCC, can also be explored.
Which sources does the Climate Impact Explorer rely on?
Explore time and spatial evolution
You can see how the changes for a given climate impact indicator will play out over time in various emission reduction scenarios, and how they will affect different areas of the selected country or province at different levels of warming.
Compare geographical patterns side by side
You can compare how the projected changes for a given climate impact indicator in a selected country or province vary at different global warming levels or different emission reduction scenarios.
