	[https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ Global Warming of 1.5 ºC, Glossary], published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018, suggests that: ‘A region is a relatively large-scale land or ocean area characterized by specific geographical and climatological features. The climate of a land-based region is affected by regional and local scale features like topography, land use characteristics and large water bodies, as well as remote influences from other regions, in addition to global climate conditions. The IPCC defines a set of standard regions for analyses of observed climate trends and climate model projections.’		[https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ Global Warming of 1.5 ºC, Glossary], published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018, suggests that: ‘A region is a relatively large-scale land or ocean area characterized by specific geographical and climatological features.
