awareness of the current and future climate hazards relevant to their cities and provide headline messages on hazards such as heat, rainfall and sea-level rise and how they could change in the future across all scenarios. Councils are working with city health authorities to develop early warning systems

will continue to grow in severity. For example, sea level will continue to rise for centuries in every mitigation pathway, because of the melting of land-based ice and because ocean warming lags behind atmospheric warming. “If greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced rapidly, more and more places

the available modelling approaches to target the most important questions for the Philippines regarding present and future climate risks. A range of climate risks were identified, from tropical cyclones and extreme rainfall, to sea level rise and shifts in rainfall seasonality. It became apparent

the UKCP09 probabilistic projections (as well as the sea level rise data) to inform flood risk management in the Thames Estuary. Note that as with the cost-benefit analysis, this method relies on beliefs of likelihood of different future climates. www.metoffice.gov.uk Pg 2 of 20 Source: Met Office

vital for both short-term and long-term environmental prediction. As our climate warms, ice cover declines and land use changes due to human intervention. Understanding the impact of this will be essential to improve projections of sea-level rise and carbon release to inform climate mitigation policy

(Allen et al. 2000; Murphy et al. 2004; Stainforth et al. 2005; Stott and Kettleborough 2002; Webster et al. 2003). This further results in considerable uncertainties about the rates of change that can be expected, such as changes in extremes of temperature and precipitation and sea level rise (Karl
