allowed the D-Day landings to occur in June 1944, bringing to a close the horror of World War Two. If you fly, consume items transported from beyond your garden, use public transport (trains or buses) or utilities (electricity or water) or take account of severe weather warnings, you are likely to have

well-known phenomenon being the UHI effect, whereby urban areas are warmer than surrounding rural areas. This arises due to a combination of factors, including additional absorption of heat by urban surfaces, effects of urban geometry (i.e. street canyons) on radiation, reduced evapotranspiration due

in transmission of diseases in general. Particularly climatic anomalies have detrimental effects on malaria transmission, especially in highland, highland fringe and semi-arid areas. Until recently, Ethiopia used to experience major malaria epidemics due to the global warming or climatic changes

temperature up to 2023 is predicted to be near, or exceeding 1 °C above pre-industrial levels. This highlights more than ever the challenge that nations face to honour the commitment made in the Paris Agreement to keep global warming below 2 °C above pre-industrial temperatures and to pursue even greater

in the IPCC’s 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, which recognised the critical role climate services can play in decisionmaking across all scales (IPCC, 2018). By improving the development, coordination and delivery of weather and climate information, there is significant potential to reduce

Some memorable quotes from the workshop emphasise the spirit in which it was conducted, one of community with a purpose: - Tom Child – WCSSP is ‘relatively new (5 years) but still achieving significant research outputs’, and he described WCSSP as an ‘outstanding example’ thanking Kirstine Dale

malnutrition, with around 135,500 of them experiencing severe acute malnutrition. 23 Projected changes in annual mean temperature range from +1.3 to +3.9 °C by 2085 (high confidence) 24 and the impacts of warming temperatures are likely to lead to further yield declines for the most important crops
