ISIMIP2b considers impacts on different sectors at the global and regional scales: water, fisheries and marine ecosystems, energy supply and demand, forests, biomes, agriculture, agro-economics, terrestrial biodiversity, permafrost, coastal systems, health and lakes. There is a collection of sector-specific focus regions for this simulation round. However, simulation data for all world regions are welcomed, as single-model simulations for specific sites allow for model inter-comparison and potentially allow for constraining global models. The focus topic for ISIMIP2b is to provide robust information about the impacts of 1.5°C global warming and related low-emission pathways, as required for the IPCC Special Report on this topic. The scientific rationale for the scenario design is described in detail in the paper by Frieler et al. (2017). This dataset contains the annual grid-level land area fractions and population fractions exposed to river floods, tropical cyclones, drought, heatwaves, crop failures, and wildfire as used in Lange et. al (2020). : The data were derived from ISIMIP2b output data as described in Lange et. al (2020).
