Over
the coming century we expect that:
temperatures will increase
winter rainfall will get heavier,
increasing the risk of flooding
summer rainfall may reduce considerably,
creating pressure on water resources
sea levels will rise, leading to further
coastal erosion and flood risk.
In future, climate change will affect
many aspects of our lives, our environment,
business and public services.
There is now a considerable amount of research that can help you
understand how climate change will affect the UK and what it might
mean for your workplace, your home and the wider community.
Use the many resources on this website to help you take account
of climate changes when planning ahead and to ensure that you integrate
climate risks into your every-day decision-making. It’s important
to be prepared so that you can avoid increasing your exposure to
climate risks like flooding, drought or coastal erosion. |
