in that period including an attribution study of the UK’s record-breaking annual temperature in 2022, where human-induced climate change made this event around 160 times more likely. In December 2023, the Met Office annual global temperature forecast was published. Global average temperature rise
2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the first year that was likely more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: a stark reminder global temperatures are continuing to rise.

The UK’s leading climate science organisations are joining forces to develop a new national alliance focused on climate solutions for society.
Feedback: We're inviting feedback on the UKNCSP Strategy. Please see the web form for more details. Aim of the partnership: Investment in science and computing has made the UK a world leader in climate change research, but as we see from recent extreme weather events worldwide, understanding
2020 has been a year of extremes with the wettest February on record, the sunniest spring, a heatwave in the summer and a day in October breaking rainfall records.
With just a few days left to go, 2020 looks likely to be the 3rd or 4th warmest on record depending on how cold the rest of the year turns out to be (full years statistics published 4th January 2021). This makes it clear that the general trend of warming as a consequence of climate change is being
