. Forests take decades to centuries to recover from fire disturbance, meaning that extreme fire years such as 2023-24 result in a lasting deficit in carbon storage for many years to come.  “In Canada, almost a decade’s worth of carbon emissions from fire were recorded in a single fire season - more

Wintry weather is more likely in the deepening cold of early January. White Christmases were more frequent

to day. Understanding air masses Air masses are large bodies of air with similar temperature and moisture characteristics. These can vary significantly depending on where the air has come from. For example, air from the north is typically colder, while air from the south tends to be warmer. Air

and will continue to happen in the years to come, so building resilience is critical. Reducing the impact of climate change Building resilience is one part of the puzzle in how we can tackle climate change, but adaptation needs to go hand in hand with mitigation. Deep and rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions

those in the least deprived groups, because of where, as a society, we choose to locate our emissions. It’s not just driven by higher levels of traffic in deprived communities, but comes from many other sources including domestic heating, construction and other industry.”  How UK air quality compares
