Climate Impact Explorer
The Climate Impact Explorer provides projections for future climate impacts at different warming levels and for several policy-relevant greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Several climate or climate impact indicators can be selected. The Climate Impact Explorer shows maps and graphs illustrating the projected changes for several global warming levels and how they will play out over time according to these emission scenarios. Graphs and underlying data are available for download. The objective of the tool is to further advance scientific knowledge and understanding of climate impacts, and linking policy and impact indicator projections on global, regional and national levels.
What you can do with it
Input
- Select a location, climate impact indicator and future climate pathway to explore projected changes over time.
- Compare projected impacts across different warming levels, emission scenarios and geographic scales.
- Download graphs and underlying data.
- No user-provided datasets or other substantive input are required.
Output
- Maps and graphs showing projected changes in climate impacts.
- Climate and climate-impact indicators and time series.
- Underlying data available for download.
- Projections across different global warming levels and emission scenarios, with coverage at global, national and regional scales.
Use it to
- Explore how climate impacts may evolve under different emission pathways and global warming levels.
- Compare projected climate impacts across locations, scenarios and time horizons.
- Support awareness-raising, climate risk screening and the initial assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities.
- Provide an evidence base for more detailed climate risk and vulnerability assessments.
Why is it relevant to climate adaptation
Helps users understand how climate impacts may evolve under different warming levels and emissions pathways. Its globally consistent coverage and ability to link climate-policy scenarios with projected impacts make it particularly useful for awareness-raising and the initial exploration of future climate risks. By making climate-model and impact-model results available through interactive visualisations, it helps users identify potential areas of concern and build an evidence base for further analysis. The tool is primarily intended for exploratory analysis and screening, and results may need to be complemented with higher-resolution regional or local assessments when informing specific adaptation decisions.
Used in
- Initial climate risk and vulnerability assessments
- Exploration of future climate impacts across countries and regions
- Scenario analysis using different warming levels and emission pathways
- Awareness-raising and stakeholder engagement on future climate risks
- Screening of climate risks prior to more detailed assessments
- Climate impact analysis supporting policy, research and financial-sector decision-making
- Building an evidence base for adaptation planning and climate-risk studies
