Fig. 4: Climate change impacts on SDM arising from both supply and demand for wind and solar systems globally.
From: Climate change impacts on planned supply–demand match in global wind and solar energy systems
a,b, Changes in SDM from 1985–2015 to 2071–2100 based on multimodel-mean estimates for energy systems with high dependence on wind (a) and solar supply (b) under SSP 245. The right panels show the profile of zonally integrated SDM changes in the high-sensitivity demand scenario (solid line) and low-sensitivity demand scenario (dashed line) (%). c–f, Corresponding changes in daily SDMM frequency and intensity for wind (c,f) and solar energy (d,f) systems. Stippling indicates regions where the detected changes are considered to be robust; that is, 9 out of 12 models in the cluster agree on the sign of the changes. Latitude is shown on y axes; longitude is on x axes.
