Number of drought events in the analysed period (SSI-1) - SSP1 Lower bound
Number of Drought events as defined by the SSI-1 indicator (Standardised Streamflow Index cumulated on a 1-month window) a consecutive series of days below -1 using SSP1 Lower bound Climate change scenario.

The existing climate refers to the entire historical period of the last 40 years (1979 - 2016) the methodology employed for the computation is exhaustively explained in the Background paper.

There are reference periods for the existing climate and for the future scenarios the average duration is computed over such periods in a statistical sense (for future years from 2060 to 2100 are considered). The definition of the indicator is a series of consecutive days where the used indicator is below -1.

Population distribution (GHSL) 2020
The GHS-POP depicts the distribution of human population, expressed as the number of people per cell. Residential population are derived from the raw global census data harmonized by CIESIN for the Gridded Population of the World, version 4.11 (GPWv4.11) at polygon level, and disaggregated from census or administrative units to grid cells, informed by the distribution, classification and density of built-up as mapped in the GHSL global layers.
