Projected Changes in Hot, Dry, and Compound Hot‐Dry Extremes Over Global Land Regions

The impacts of hot, dry, and compound hot-dry extremes are significant for societies, economies, ecosystems worldwide. Such events therefore need to be assessed in the light anthropogenic climate change so that suitable adaptation measures can implemented by governments stakeholders. Here we show a comprehensive analysis over global land regions using 25 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models four future emissions scenarios from 1950 2100. Hot, projected increase large parts globe end 21st century. Hot most widespread increases dry extreme changes sensitive index used. Many regional depend on strength greenhouse-gas forcing, which highlights potential limit with strong mitigation efforts.
