Climate change will have an increasing impact on our lives, including the sport we love to watch.

already seen aspects such as extreme heat, and the worse is yet to come. “The UK has not recorded temperatures of more than 38.7 °C. However, our climate projections show temperatures of 40.0 °C or more are possible at Wimbledon even during future tournaments, posing considerable challenges

Leadership and services to climate science recognised in New Year Honours for Met Office Science Fellow

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

Providing policy-relevant evidence and research on avoiding dangerous climate change and its impacts.

It is critical that mitigation and adaptation policy are underpinned by strong scientific evidence. The Climate Change Mitigation Advice team carries out original underpinning research on aspects of dangerous climate change, including Amazon dieback, the cryosphere, and marine impacts. Our primary

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
