Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure SPM.3 (v20210809)

Data for Figure SPM.3 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.3 shows the synthesis of assessed observed and attributable regional changes in hot extremes, heavy precipitation and agricultural and ecological droughts and confidence in human contribution to the observed changes in the world’s regions.
