UK Climate Resilience Programme
The Met Office co-led the UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) from 2019 to 2023.
From 2019 to 2023, the UK Climate Resilience Programme united multi-disciplinary research to enhance the UK's resilience to climate variability and change.
Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) Adaptation Sub-Committee.
The programme sought to quantify UK climate risk and build resilience, producing usable outputs to directly support decision-making. It commissioned and funded more than 60 projects to understand and quantify climate risk, to manage climate risk and to develop climate services.
