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
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
Rapid Response Review shows human-induced climate change promotes the conditions on which wildfires depend, increasing their likelihood.
Assessment Report in 2013. All the studies show links between climate change and increased frequency or severity of fire weather - periods with a high fire risk due to a combination of high temperatures, low humidity, low rainfall and often high winds - though some note anomalies in a few regions
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
A new international research study, including climate change experts from the University of Leeds, University of Exeter and the Met Office, reveals that permafrost is more sensitive to the effects of global warming than previously thought. The study, published today in Nature Climate Change

We are a world authority on weather and climate science.
Weather and climate stories are rarely out of the headlines, meaning that the views of our media-trained experts are frequently sought by media and others around the world. Covering so many topics affecting the world’s weather and climate means we have a lot to talk about. How you can follow us
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
