Watch how climate zones across Asia have changed and are projected to change from 1930 to 2099, using Köppen-Geiger classification at 1-kilometer resolution. This animation uses data from Beck et al. (2023) combining historical climate observations with downscaled CMIP6 projections. Future periods follow the SSP2-4.5 scenario, a middle-pathway where emissions stabilize by mid-to-late century.
