Avoided impacts by the half a degree less warming over monsoon subregions. Areal and population exposures (%) reduced by the 1.5 °C warming compared to 2 °C warming for RX5day events that exceed the baseline 10- and 20-year return values (RVs; see Methods). Circles and bars denote multimodel medians and interquartile ranges, respectively. Where more (less) than two-thirds of the models indicate reduced exposure by the 0.5 °C less warming are indicated by solid (open) circles. The population exposures based on population in the year 2000 (GPW2000) are shown. Regional monsoon domains are shown in colors on the map
