• Global impacts of climate change - observed trends

  These maps show the observed regional trends in 6 types of climate extremes and impacts, with examples of impactful extreme weather events attributable partly or wholly to anthropogenic climate change.

  of impactful extreme heat events with their severity / likelihood increased by anthropogenic climate change. The map shows observed changes in heavy precipitation since the 1950s. The map shows observed changes in river flows influenced by climate change, between 1971 and 2010. The map shows observed

• WISER knowledge and learning

  It is intended that the knowledge will help influence policy, practice and programmes in order to bring about transformational change to weather and climate services programme development. Our infographic provides an overview of the strategy, which can be viewed here.

  attendance should be a baseline going forward not just a one off. Participants need to influence gender equity when they get back to their institutions - the processes to achieve this are required to ensure that people who attend GHACOF promote inclusivity. Balanced communication of climate

• Human dynamics of climate change

  The Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics

  changes in climate and population between a present day  baseline (1981-2010) and the end of the 21st century (2071-2100). The climate projections shown do not include any assumptions about adaptation or adaptive capacity. They represent the potential long-term influence of climate change on human

Research showing that human activities increase the risk of an extreme weather or climate event also supports policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. 1 Ren et al.

• Creating a five-year window into future climate

  Providing annually-updated five-year climate predictions at global and continental scales is the focus of a new international science collaboration co-ordinated by the WMO and led by the UK’s Met Office.

He said: “This product takes into account natural variations as well as human influences on climate to provide the best possible

• Impact studies should include high-sensitivity climate models

  High-sensitivity climate models should not be excluded when projecting future regional climate impacts because the level of warming measured globally is not always the only good indicator of regional changes, a new study suggests.
