Climate change has direct, widespread and long-lasting impacts on the structure and functioning of ecosystems globally2,3,5. This alters both market and non-market benefits that people derive from nature6. However, current economic estimates of climate-change damages that inform climate policy, such...
Time-series data are the best way to identify long-term changes in an ecosystem24. Ocean-colour sensors are known to perform quite differently to each other—even copies of the same sensor on a different satellite platform16. Thus, the 20-year MODIS-Aqua record, as the longest single-sensor...

We present new global maps of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification at an unprecedented 1-km resolution for the present-day (1980–2016) and for projected future conditions (2071–2100) under climate change. The present-day map is derived from an e
