Fig. 5

a–d, Changes in consumption risk (90th percentile of consumption losses) by income quintile (colour code) for LICs (a), LMICs (b), UMICs (c) and HICs (d). Bars show amplification for the present decade (2021–2030, left bars), for the near-future decade (2031–2040, right bars) compared with the past decade (2011–2020). Income quintiles are numbered from lowest income (first) to highest income (fifth). Middle lines, boxes and whiskers denote median values, 25th–75th percentile ranges and 17th–83rd percentile ranges with respect to climate model ensemble (n = 15; 5 climate models × 3 SSP emission scenarios), respectively.
