This dataset consists of spatially explicit (1 km gridded) metrics of climate change "exposure" (i.e. an index of the amount of expected change in a location) derived from quantifying the difference in observed historical and predicted future climatic conditions. Four comparisons are included between five discrete time periods: 1901–1930 v. 1961–1990; 1961–1990 v. 2010–2019; 2010–2019 v. 2021–2040; and 2021–2040 v. 2061–2080.
