IPBES - Technical Guideline on maps

This technical guideline provides information on the use and development of maps for IPBES experts. The guideline is accompanied by a tutorial script on basic map created, which provides default options such as the use of the Equal Earth projection, the inclusion of all continents, and a colour blind-friendly colour scheme. The script is also available on GitHub (https://github.com/IPBES-Data/TG_Maps_Equal_Earth_Projection). For any questions, feedback or suggestions, please contact [email protected]
