Future Koppen-Geiger Climate Zone Classification Map (2041-2070)

Future Global Koppen-Geiger Climate Zone Classification Map for 2041-2070 at 1km resolution. Future layers are based on downscaled and bias-corrected climate projections from CMIP6. There are projections for 7 socio-economic pathways (SSPs), each it's own layer. The source data was downloaded and turned into a Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF with internal overviews by members of the NatCap Team. Please see the accompanying metadata (YML) and legend.txt file for more information on the dataset and classification legend.
