The maps and information about climate projections are from the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Text descriptions of regional climate projections were derived from pages 1255-1277 in chapter 14 ("Climate Phenomena and their Relevance for Future Regional Climate Change") of the Working Group 1 report. Maps were derived from figures AI.SM8.5.4 through AI.SM8.5.153 in Annex I "Atlas of Global and Regional Climate Projections", Supplementary Material RCP8.5.
