title: Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure SPM.9 (v20210809)

description: 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.

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 the report webpage, which includes the report component containing the figure (Summary for Policymakers)
