• Asia Regional Resilience to a Changing Climate (ARRCC)

  new technologies and innovative approaches to help vulnerable communities use weather warnings and forecasts to better prepare for climate-related shocks.   Asia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and this vulnerability is expected to increase. The ARRCC programme targeted the most vulnerable

• Food, Farming and Natural Environment Climate Service

  Met Office science is helping UK farmers and the wider food chain prepare for a changing climate. This work includes a number of ‘Climate Services’ which are funded by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

  UK agriculture, food and climate adaptation  The UK Climate Projections (UKCP) show us that the UK is likely to experience ‘hotter, drier summers and warmer, wetter winters’, as well as an increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, periods of drought and heatwaves. These changing

• 02427 Central Asia climate infographic-v4

  Central and South Asia Climate Risk Report – Central Asia HEADLINE CLIMATE STATEMENTS RUSSIA Aral Sea KAZAKHSTAN Central Asia has warmed by around 0.3 to 0.4°C per decade from 1980 to 2015. By the 2050s*, annual average temperatures in Central Asia will be between 2 to 6°C warmer, under the highest

• Improving Model Processes for African Climate (IMPALA)

  This research programme aims to improve the understanding of Africa's climate to help provide high-quality information that is crucial for effective decision making across the continent.

  research will improve understanding of African climate processes and the mechanisms of future change. The information gathered by the new research will help decision-makers reduce climate-related risks. For example, infrastructure can be re-designed to account for high temperatures and changing rainfall

• Assessing your climate risk training course

  Assessing your climate risk – an introduction to climate data and reporting course will introduce you to the key concepts of climate risk assessments and aid your understanding of climate projections.

  About this course  The course will help you gain the skills you need to identify, access, interpret and communicate climate data to meet your organisational needs. Course aims At the end, participants will understand:  An established framework for assessing climate risk that can be utilised

• Near-term climate prediction ‘coming of age’

  Bridging the gap between shorter-term seasonal forecasts and long-term climate projections has long been a dream of climate scientists.

  Now a review paper, published by a team of international climate scientists, and led by authors at the Met Office and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Institute, validates the capability for near-term climate predictions out to a few years ahead. These predictions are expected to become increasingly useful

• The bleakest assessment yet of climate change risk

  Climate change risks worse than previous assessments while the world continues to warm.

  A new report published today [Monday 28 February, 2022] by the IPCC paints the bleakest assessment yet for the impacts of climate change risks on society, human health, agriculture, ecosystems and wildlife. The IPCC has today published the second instalment (Working Group II) of its Sixth
