Fig. 1: Exposure of natural world heritage sites to extreme climate events under different SSP scenarios.
From: Natural world heritage sites are at risk from climate change globally
There are spatial and scenario differences in the exposure of NWHSs to extreme climate events. a–d Show the exposure of the NWHS under SSP126, SSP245, SSP370 and SSP585, respectively. e Shows the transformation of the exposure of NWHSs under different SSP scenarios. As emission intensity increases, NWHSs that were previously unaffected by extreme climate events may face also extreme climate. The coloured circles show different extreme climate events. The grey linking lines in the legend show the composition of composite extreme climate events.
