Figure 4. Spatial Distributions of City-Level Percentage Changes in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Prevalence Associated With Climate Warming From the Baseline Period (1985-2014) in South Asia Under Different Climate Scenarios.

The SSPs (shared socioeconomic pathways), as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, correspond to the increasing trajectories of atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations and characterize a range of warming in global climate from mild to extreme; for this study, 3 SSPs were used, categorized as strict (SSP1-2.6; lowest projected change), medium (SSP2-4.5), and unrestricted (SSP5-8.5; highest projected change) GHG emissions.
