Climate risks were explored by evaluating their impact to five socio-economic themes: water security, food security, health, cities and infrastructure, and coasts.   Watch the video below to find out more about

Environments: With rapid urbanisation and population growth, cities face unique challenges in the face of climate change. The Met Office is involved in research and development projects aimed at enhancing climate resilience in urban environments. This includes modelling future climate scenarios, assessing

This channel is able to detect very low light levels at night-time, and the fog shows up clearly from reflected moonlight in this example (while emitted light from towns, cities and North Sea oil platforms is also seen).
