Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

The unshaded area shows short-term risks, and the shaded area shows long-term risks pre- and post-MyCV. For the short term, risks were categorized mainly into known and uncertain risks. In the long term, risks pre-MyCV were mostly identified as either ambiguous or unknown, followed by known, and only a few identified uncertain risks. Thus, participants perceived long-term climate risks as more complex than current risks. The range of risks post-MyCV was narrower than pre-MyCV and were categorized into only two types of risk: known and uncertain. This indicated that the climate information provided by MyCV helped participants to reduce their perceived complexities of future risks. The data points within the risk categories indicates individual participants identifying risks belonging to the risk category. Participants were allowed to identify multiple risk types across both timescales. Our analysis explored whether these risk categories would vary across business, climatic zones and commodities ( Supplementary Note 3 ).
