Table 2 Percentage point shift between 2015 and 2100 in each sector’s share in regional GDP in the EU&UK, due to SLR under the SSP5-RCP8.5 scenario.

  1. This comparative heatmap shows the evolution of value-added shares in total GDP, with positive values signifying an increase in the importance of a sector within a regional economy. The values represent the change in percentage points of the share (and thus add up to 0 row-wise), which can be understood as shifts in the sectoral composition of a region. The red/green colour gradients indicate a reduction/increase of the sector’s share in the regional GDP. Out of 271 European regions, we chose those with the highest sum of absolute values row-wise for their respective countries, to illustrate examples of the most striking changes in sectoral composition of regional economies. Where possible, one coastal (blue) and one inland (orange) region per country are presented; some NUTS2 regions cover an entire country (i.e., Cyprus) and are shown in bold.
