Country-level estimates of transboundary co-benefits (IMAGE)
Caption
Country-level estimates of transboundary co-benefits across four combinations of shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) and representative concentration pathways (RCP). (a) Transboundary fractions for individual countries in a sustainable and strong climate mitigation scenario (SSP1-26), (b) the relative change in transboundary fractions associated with a weaker RCP, i.e., from SSP1-26 to SSP1-45; red values indicate where transboundary fractions have increased whereas blue values indicate decreases, (c) the relative change in transboundary fractions from a less equal SSP, i.e., from SSP1-26 to SSP3-26, (d) the relative change in transboundary fractions from both a weaker RCP and less equal SSP, i.e., from SSP1-26 to SSP3-45. Figure 3 was created using Python and the Matplotlib, Cartopy, GeoPandas, and Contextily libraries. Country borders and coastlines are from Natural Earth (public domain), and the basemap is from CartoDB Positron (CC BY 4.0).
