project involving 66 partners from across Europe. Led by the Met Office, and funded by the European Union, it has been studying the likely effects of climate change across Europe as a whole. ICE2SEA - An EU project to estimate the future contribution of continental ice to sea-level rise. Reviewing the scientific evidence base underpinning the recommendations of the Committee on Climate Change for CO2 emissions targets and UK carbon budgets.

temperatures will increase by 0.7°C on average by the 2050s under low emission and by 1.2°C under high emission scenarios, relative to a 1995-2014 baseline. By the 2050s, sea levels will rise by 0.2 – 0.3m irrespective of emission scenario, compared to a 1995-2014 baseline. The strongest typhoons

is better able to represent some smallscale processes seen in the atmosphere, such as those important for large convective storms in the summer. UKCP18 projections for the seas around the UK comprise: new estimates of the time-mean sea level rise around the UK coastline; exploration of the possible

. Globally, the IPCC projects a sea level rise of between 0.52 and 0.98 metres by 2100 and an increase in the rate (presently at 3mm/year) to between 8 and 16 mm/year (Christensen et al., 2013). However, future sea level projections exhibit significant regional variations (Meyssignac and Cazenave, 2012

the ARRCC pilot to other regions and crops.  The exposure and vulnerability of Bangladesh makes it particularly susceptible to the sea level rise component of climate change. Sea level changes are not uniform around the world and many regional estimates are based on extrapolation of global values

to the height of storm surges. Storm surges are temporary increases in the sea level caused by high winds and atmospheric pressure variations associated with storms. Future sea level rise will act to increase the hazard posed by storm surges from tropical cyclones. Our study finds that average sea level around

skills in a variety of projects such as the risks of climate change on key species and ecosystems; the visualisation of global sea-level rise hazards, and a risk analysis for the impact of climate change on a UK fire service. This last project included understanding vulnerabilities and hazards

-surface temperatures have been 0.7°C warmer than the 1961–1990 average, and nine of the ten warmest years in near-coast sea-surface temperatures have occurred since 2002. Sea level rise has accelerated in the UK over recent years. The rate of sea level rise has been 1.5mm/yr from the start of the 20th
