Ahead of the COP26 negotiations, which were hosted by the UK in November 2021, the British Embassy in Ukraine requested the Met Office to conduct a study on climate change impacts in Ukraine.  The 11 month project, from April 2021 to February 2022, aimed to provide the British Embassy Kyiv

The Met Office Climate Services Week 2022 is taking place from 9-13 May. The inaugural event was held in 2017.

Why are we hosting Climate Services Week? We want to celebrate the great progress our climate services and science communities have made during recent years in understanding decision-making requirements and turning the science into useable and useful tools and information. This is helping people

Working in partnership with scientific institutions in developing countries to generate and communicate information on climate variability and change

The Climate Information for International Development team is a diverse mix of scientific software engineers and scientists working to generate, analyse and communicate information to a range of customers. Activities include scientific analysis and training, model development, regional climate
