IPCC Interactive Atlas

The IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas is a web-based analytical tool accompanying the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), enabling users to explore observed and projected climate changes across regions, variables, and warming levels. It provides interactive visualisation, regional synthesis, and access to multi-model climate projections (e.g. CMIP6, CMIP5 and CORDEX-CMIP5), supporting comparative and scenario-based climate risk analysis.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select climate variables, regions and warming levels.
  • Explore observed and projected climate changes.
  • Compare results from climate-model ensembles and scenarios.

Output

  • Maps and visualisations.
  • Climate indicators and projections.
  • Regional synthesis information.
  • Access to underlying climate information referenced in IPCC AR6.

Use it to

  • Understand observed and projected climate change.
  • Compare climate futures across regions.
  • Support climate risk and vulnerability assessments.
  • Build a scientific evidence base for adaptation planning.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Provides direct access to the climate information underpinning the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. Particularly useful when users need authoritative, globally consistent climate evidence and want to explore how projected changes vary across regions, scenarios and warming levels.

Used in

  • Climate assessments based on IPCC AR6.
  • Global and regional climate-change analysis.
  • Scenario exploration using CMIP5, CMIP6 and CORDEX datasets.
  • Climate risk and vulnerability assessments informed by IPCC evidence.
