in the rate of loss of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets over the subsequent years and decades. The destabilisation of the West Antarctica ice sheet could lead to an additional metre of sea level rise beyond the likely range of between 0.3m and 1m by 2100 (according to the IPCC AR6 Chapter 9

to the changing climate. We are going to need to protect our homes and schools from hazards like sea level rise and flash flooding or prevent them from damage from overheating. In the hottest and most vulnerable countries of the world, people will be forced to move away from their homelands, when nothing

level rise takes many years to respond to increasing global temperatures and we will therefore see our seas rise for many years to come. Adaptation is therefore critical for our resilience to climate change. In this webinar, we explored the importance of taking an evidence-based approach to adaptation

impacts of windstorms, from storm surges and high waves, will worsen as the sea level rises. More storms to come this year? After Storm Jocelyn this week, the UK will continue to see spells of wet and windy weather, especially in northern and western areas. Long range models suggest that late
