MANET: uncertainty in demographics – data on population projections

<p>This is a repository of global and regional human population data collected from: the databases of scenarios assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Sixth Assessment Report, Special Report on 1.5 C; Fifth Assessment Report), multi-national databases of population projections (World Bank, International Database, United Nation population projections), and other very long-term population projections (Resources for the Future).</p> <p>More specifically, it&nbsp;contains:</p> <p>- in `other_pop_data` folder files from&nbsp;<a href="https://databank.worldbank.org/source/population-estimates-and-projections">World Bank,</a>&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/idb/#/dashboard?COUNTRY_YEAR=2023&amp;COUNTRY_YR_ANIM=2023">International Database</a> from the US Census, and from <a href="https://ghdx.healthdata.org/record/ihme-data/global-population-forecasts-2017-2100">IHME</a></p> <p>- in the `SSP` folder, the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, as in the version 2.0 downloaded from&nbsp;<a href="https://tntcat.iiasa.ac.at/SspDb/dsd?Action=htmlpage&amp;page=10">IIASA</a> and as in the version 3.0 downloaded from <a href="https://data.ece.iiasa.ac.at/ssp/#/workspaces">IIASA workspace</a></p> <p>- in the `UN` folder, the demographic projections from <a href="https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/Population/">UN</a></p> <p>- `IAMstat.xlsx`, an overview file of the metadata accompanying the scenarios present in the IPCC databases</p> <p>- `RFF.csv`, an overview file containing the population projections obtained by&nbsp;<a href="../record/6016583#.Y42iFuzP2rP">Resources For the Future</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>'- the remaining `.csv` files with names `AR6#`, `AR5#`, `IAMC15#` contain the IPCC scenarios assessed by the IPCC for preparing the IPCC assessment reports.
