UK Climate Resilience Programme
The UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) ran from 2019 to 2023. It brought together multi-disciplinary climate research and expertise to ensure the UK is resilient to climate variability and change.
Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the UK Climate Resilience Programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) Adaptation Sub-Committee.
Between 2019 and 2023, the programme sought to quantify UK climate risk and build resilience, producing usable outputs to directly support decision-making. It commissioned and funded more than 60 projects to understand and quantify climate risk, to manage climate risk and to develop climate services.
