The study and analysis of regional manifestations of climate change require the visualisation of the results obtained, with cartographic representation being the most effective means of such visualisation.This study presents the results of a long-term investigation into the dynamics of climatic processes over recent decades in the four largest and most valuable nature conservation areas in the Volyn Oblast: Shatsk National Nature Park, Cheremsky Nature Reserve, Kivertsi National Nature Park ‘Tsumanska Pushcha’, and the ‘Prypiat–Stohid’ National Nature Park. The research has resulted in the development of two interactive maps: the map ‘Climate Change in the Cheremsky Nature Reserve’ and the map ‘Climate Change in the National Nature Parks of Volyn. These online tools allow users to assess the dynamics of climate change at these sites over the past decade. They provide a comprehensive set of data on changes in key climate indicators, presented in both numerical and graphical forms, as well as information on the potential impact of climate change on biota. The maps developed will be updated with the latest data and will help to monitor the dynamics of climate change in nature conservation areas in the coming years. They can be used as an educational and awareness-raising resource, form the basis of a geoportal on climate change in Ukraine’s nature conservation areas, and serve as a platform for bringing together researchers in this field.
