Figure 2

Heating (top) and cooling (bottom) degree days for the low and high greenhouse gas emission scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) at the global level and across five regions. Note: Boxes and lines represent the uncertainty ranges across the five GCMs. Boxes represent the first-third quartile range and the plain line indicates the median (ASIA: Asia except OECD90 countries; MAF: Middle East and Africa; LAM: Latin America; OECD90: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change [UNFCCC] Annex I countries; REF: Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union). See Supplementary Material for details on RCP4.5 and RCP6.0.
