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

Exploring climate impacts Age range: 11-14 Exploring climate impacts | Weather and climate stories Introduction Overview This lesson explores climate change and its impacts around the world. Your pupils will step into the shoes of people in other countries, finding out about their ways of life

Observations of ocean temperature, both at and below the surface; salinity, and sea-ice cover are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

The oceans have a crucial role in the climate system owing to their ability to store and transport heat and to impart moisture and heat to the atmosphere. The temperature of the oceans and the amount of sea-ice are, therefore, important indicators of changes to the climate system. Observations

Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.

Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system
