For each of these zones, the evolution of the main risks is indicated by an up or down arrow: average temperature, number of heat wave days, precipitation totals, intense precipitation anddrought These projections take into account two climate scenarios: an optimistic scenario with limited warming and a pessimistic scenario with strong warming (according to various estimates).IPCC ).
