Thematic maps of the world (climate, climate zones and regions, environmental pollution, natural areas) in the atlas were created using new approaches to pictorial cartographic methods with the use of the most modern open data from World Climate Data, WWF Terrestrial Ecoregions, NASA Ozone Watch and others. If we compare the content of the maps with similar maps from other publications, we can immediately see how many changes are taking place in the world, and this is primarily due to global warming. The maps in the educational atlases of previous editions are based on the Physical and Geographical Atlas of the World (1964).
