Exchanges of climate co-benefits (IMAGE)
Caption
Exchanges (EXC) of climate co-benefits within and between different regions across the five shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP). (a) Exchanges for Europe and Africa, for SSP1-26 in 2040 (left). Contributions are indicated through a logarithmic colormap ranging from 1 to 1000 deaths avoided. Darker colors indicate greater co-benefits in the receptor country attributable to emission reductions in the source country; self-contributions (i.e., the diagonal) are excluded. (b) EXC within Asia and between Asia and Africa; here contributions are indicated in a logarithmic colormap that ranges from 10 to 10000 deaths avoided. (c) Heatmaps of transboundary exchanges of climate action within and between Europe and Africa in 2040 for the scenarios SSP2-26, SSP3-26, SSP4-26, and SSP5-26 relative to SSP1-26. The colormaps are linear and range from -60 to +60 fewer or more deaths avoided compared to SSP1. (d) Heatmaps of transboundary exchanges of climate action within Asia and between Asia and Africa in 2040 for the scenarios SSP2-26, SSP3-26, SSP4-26, and SSP5-26 relative to SSP1-26. The colormaps are linear and range from -120 to +120 fewer or more deaths avoided compared to SSP1. For all subplots, interregional exchanges (i.e., Africa to Europe and Asia to Africa) are provided in an absolute sense – not relative to SSP1. White stars are placed to indicate the top 5% highest (absolute) values for each heatmap.
