Climate Change and Cities: Second Assessment Report of the Urban Climate Change Research Network. Cambridge University Press. Annex 2 Climate Projections for ARC3.2 Cities (corrected) Presented here are climate projections for the ARC3-2 cities. ARC3.2 Cities include Case Study Docking Station cities, UCCRN Regional Hub cities, UCCRN project cities, and cities of ARC3.2 Chapter Authors. The projections are for three future timeslices (30-year periods for temperature and precipitation, 10-year periods for sea level rise) centered on the given decade (2020s, 2050s, 2080s). For each city, the range presented for each variable is the low-estimate (10th percentile) to high-estimate (90th percentile) across 35 GCMs and two RCPs for temperature and precipitation projections (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Sea level rise projections are based on a four-component methodology that uses data from 24 GCMs and two RCPs (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) and values are presented for only coastal cities1. Presented are the low-estimate (10th percentile) to high-estimate (90th percentile). a. 2020s City Temperature Precipitation Sea Level Rise (2020s) (2020s) (2020s) Aalborg +0.5 to 2.1°C -1 to +11% Abu Dhabi +0.9 to 1.7°C -25 to +33% +4 to 19 cm Accra +0.7 to 1.1°C -8 to +10% +5 to 19 cm Addis Ababa +0.7 to 1.5°C -7 to +10% Ahmedabad +0.7 to 1.4°C -6 to +37% Almada +0.4 to 1.2°C -14 to +1% Antofagasta +0.6 to 1.3°C -26 to +8% +4 to 17 cm Antwerp +0.5 to 1.8°C -2 to +8% +4 to 22 cm Athens +0.8 to 1.7°C -12 to +6% +4 to 16 cm Atlanta, GA +0.8 to 1.6°C -2 to +9% Bangalore +0.6 to 1.2°C -7 to +13% Bangkok +0.7 to 1.3°C -8 to +6% +4 to 17 cm Bath +0.6 to 2.1°C -2 to +11% Berkeley +0.8 to 1.5°C -3 to +10% Berlin +0.9 to 1.9°C 0 to +10% Bilbao +0.8 to 1.9°C -4 to +8% Bobo-Dioulasso +0.6 to 1.1°C -10 to +8% Boston, MA +0.5 to 1.8°C -3 to +8% +4 to 23 cm Boulder +0.3 to 1°C -1 to +13% 1Horton, R., Bader, D.A., Kushner, Y., Little, C., Blake, R.
