<p dir="ltr">This dataset supports a study examining the potential impacts of climate change on the distribution of 24 major forest insect pests in the Northern Hemisphere. Using an ensemble modelling framework and historical as well as future climate projections from CMIP6 scenarios, we generated species-specific occurrence probabilities and identified co-occurrence hotspots by stacking all species’ predictions. The data include latitude and longitude coordinates for each species, representing their known distributions. These records serve as the basis for modeling studies on pest distribution and co-occurrence patterns under current and future climate conditions.</p>
