This data release provides gridded population distributions (spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds, approximately 1km grid cells) globally for 2025-2100, quantitatively consistent with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) 3.2 national population scenarios.
National population totals at 5-year intervals for 2025-2100 were provided for each SSP scenario. The projection for all GIS files is the geographic coordinate system WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984).
For more details about the datasets, please refer to the release statement here.
