Climate risk data are used to identify climate stability or scope for climate-adaptation focused interventions. The recent datasets from Tabor et al. 2018 which assess climate change exposure using downscaled climate projections with the SRES A2 emissions scenario was selected for ranking climate risk, combining two measures of radically changing climates. Tabor highlight (a) the threat status of the climate, assigning high values where the late 20th century climates will cease to exist anywhere in the world and therefore this climate space is very threatened as it may be disappearing from the world; and (b) the distance from current climates, with high values indicating areas with novel climates not currently experienced anywhere in the world, and where there is high uncertainty on future species communities. Climate risk values are grouped by deciles whereby landscapes with moderate climate risk are deemed most appropriate for selection, in that there are some adaptation challenges that the LWP intervention may be able to tackle.
