due to warming oceans and melting ice sheets. Projections suggest sea levels could rise by metres by century’s end, posing significant threats to coastal communities and infrastructure. From short-term forecasts to long-term projections, the evidence is clear: the UK is experiencing more frequent

variables and indicators – such as Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs), Sea Level Rise (SLR) and relevant climate extremes – is drawn from appropriate scientific literature and from the IPCC Interactive Atlas (2021). Table A1 – GCM simulations from CMIP5 used in the climate data analysis, from https

are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals Hydro-meteorological hazards such as drought, flood, windstorms, tropical cyclones and sea level rise occur most pervasively and account for most of the people affected by disasters. The direct impact of climate variability and change

of climate impacts, but every fraction of a degree rise in global temperature increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, commits the world to greater rises in sea level and increases the risk of crossing potential planet-altering tipping points such as breakdown of the Amazon
