Harmonizing reliable, comprehensive, and cross-scale climate-related information is urgently required for decision-making and adaptation planning. This study proposes a framework for harmonizing and mapping different climate change impacts based on spatially explicit models. The framework aims to assist future policy-making and spatial planning in Japan's climate change adaptation to 2100. The seven harmonized indicators that reflect national and local interests were synthesized to generate the homogeneous impact zones using the K-means clustering algorithm. Finally, we presented the analogous impact maps in 2100 under different RCP scenarios that highlight the spatial configuration of diverse impacts' co-occurrence and underlying adaptation interventions gradient.
