A zip archive of decadal climate, heat stress and impact indicators for 142 cities around the world obtained using the UrbClim model. Information is available at 100m resolution for each decade up to 2100 for three future clilmate scenarios (including climate model uncertainty): Current Policies  Shifting Pathways  Delayed Action / Gradual Strengthening 

The cities are listed in the table below and are offered in separate zip archives per country. The scripts to process the model data can be found in python_scripts.zip
