Millions of people around the world live in coastal regions. Coastal communities are not only impacted by natural hazards such as rip currents, but they are also faced with the impacts of climate change through sea level rise and flooding. The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership

change statistics into changing seasonal weather characteristics for the UK Observations • In the most recent State of the UK Climate 2017 report, trends show that the UK climate is continuing to warm and that sea levels continue to rise. • The longest running instrumental record of temperature

UKCP18 Factsheet: Sea-level rise and storm surge - supplementary data Summary This factsheet summarises the additional information available on the UKCP18 marine projections for sea-level rise and storm surge, added since the original release in 2018. Read this before using any products

| UKCP18 MARINE CLIMATE CHANGE How much will sea levels rise in the UK? Projected sea level rise projections at four UK capital cities by 2100 relative to 1981-2000. The range for a low emission scenario (blue) and high emission scenario (red) are shown*: (For reference, UK sea levels have risen

of local sea-level rise in South Asia • IPCC AR6 medium confidence sea-level projections are broadly similar to those in Harrison et al. (2021) (which use model outputs consistent with IPCC AR5), at selected tide gauge locations over the 21st century. However, the IPCC AR6 projections show higher sea-level

classes of Earth system instabilities were considered – those that could affect the UK directly through changes in our regional weather and climate; those involving changes in land ice, affecting sea level rise impacts in the UK and worldwide; and those related to feedbacks involving carbon or other

Sea-level rise impacts and adaptation Why is sea-level rise important? Sea-level rise is one of the most urgent climate threats, causing flood inundation, coastal erosion, shoreline retreat and saltwater intrusion. These impacts affect global shorelines, coastal infrastructure, and communities

The  Climate Dashboard  – compiled by Met Office scientists – will help decision makers, including those at COP 26, to view how indicators of climate change, such as global temperature, ocean heat content, sea level rise, sea ice extent and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are shifting
