This data set is needed to reproduce the figures in the git repository.
The exposure is calculated following the workflow described in the paper:
Weber, T., Bowyer, P., Rechid, D., Pfeifer, S., Raffaele, F., Remedio, A. R., et al. (2020). Analysis of compound climate extremes and exposed population in Africa under two different emission scenarios. Earth's Future, 8, e2019EF001473.

The climate heat indicator for Africa is based on CORDEX-CORE AFR-22 data. For the calculation of the number of extrem heat days (maximum temperature > 40°C) we use the index_calculator. This is using xclim. In addition to the climate change signal, the robustness is also indicated.
We remapped and calculated timemean of the original population data from:
Franziska Piontek, Tobias Geiger (2017): ISIMIP2b secondary population input data (v1.0). ISIMIP Repository.
