volume, the AMOC could weaken and collapse into a state of reduced flow. (9) What impacts might be expected if the threshold were crossed? An AMOC shutdown would cause cooling of the northern hemisphere (Fig 2), sea level rise in the Atlantic, an overall decrease in precipitation over Europe and North

intense monsoon rainfall in upper river catchments may be sufficient to negate the effects of climate-driven sea level rise this century, provided sediment delivery is not interrupted by further dam building and river diversion upstream. Health (Section 3.3) outcomes sensitive to climate change

. In an exclusive interview with the Met Office Omar Baddour – the WMO’s head of Climate Monitoring and Policy Services – discussed the latest findings.  The report focuses on key climate indicators, including greenhouse gases, temperatures, sea level rise, ocean heat and acidification, sea ice and glaciers

and opportunities of climate change to the UK agri-food system are broad, from changing soil moisture patterns, and impacts on the productivity of crops and livestock systems, to sea level rise and its impact on saltwater intrusion and inundation of agricultural land, the changing ability of plant pests

will continue to rise through the 2050s and beyond. By the 2050s, sea level will rise by 0.2 – 0.3m irrespective of emission scenario, compared to a 1995-2014 baseline. Southeast Asian seas will continue to acidify, and the frequency, intensity and duration of marine heatwaves**** will increase. MALAYSIA

). Information on the projected changes in other relevant climate variables and indicators – such as sea surface temperatures, sea level rise and relevant climate extremes – is drawn from appropriate scientific literature and from the IPCC Interactive Atlas (Gutiérrez et al., 2021). Table A1: GCM
