Description
The tool provides the global spatial distribution of the average aridity index and various aridity categories across two periods (1961–1990 and 1991–2020). Additionally, it includes aridity projections for 2100 based on two different emission scenarios and highlights the uncertainties in these projections. This information is necessary for assessing aridity trends at local to global scales, exploring scenarios to develop future projections, and for assessing socioeconomic and environmental aridity impacts, future risks, and the influence of mitigation and adaptation efforts.
