Human populations in the world’s mountains: Spatio-temporal patterns and potential controls
Delve into the data and trends of human populations in mountainous regions, and explore the associations between mountain populations and different environmental covariates. Findings may inform predictions of future mountain population distributions under scenarios of future climatic change.
IPCC WGII Sixth Assessment Report Cross-Chapter Paper 5: Mountains
Explore the new evidence on observed and projected climate change impacts in mountain regions, their associated key risks and adaptation measures in this IPCC cross-chapter paper on mountains.
IPCC WG1 Interactive Atlas
Explore observed and projected climate change information in this novel tool developed by the UN IPCC. Use the regional information component to generate global climate maps, and the regional synthesis tab to get qualitative information about changes in climatic impact-drivers.
