Frequently asked questions

How are the cities compared?

Each city's past and present climate comes from the Copernicus ERA5 reanalysis and its 2050 climate from the median of CMIP6 climate models under an intermediate emissions scenario (SSP2-4.5), for the ~25 km grid cell containing the city. See the methodology page for details.
