of Central Africa’s urban population live in coastal cities, increasingly exposed to sea level rise, coastal erosion, and coastal flooding. • Marine fisheries around Central Africa may become less productive because of increases in sea surface temperatures, sea level rise, ocean acidification, changes

flooding associated with heavy rainfall and sea level rise. Urban and coastal areas in Mauritania are of particular concern. • Climate-related risks to water availability, demand, supply, access and quality in the region will be mediated by transboundary water management dynamics, including both

compares the current climate to historical observations of temperature, rainfall, sunshine and wind. The report also includes contributions on sea level rise and ecology from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and Woodland Trust respectively. The report is published in the Royal Meteorological

, a webinar was held on 11 March to showcase recent advances in research on sea level rise and coastal climate risks in Bangladesh. The webinar recording has now been uploaded to YouTube and can be found here. In collaboration with Prof Saiful Islam from the Bangladesh University of Engineering

are similar in principle to conventional climate change scenarios. Each is presented as a single quantification. Two (enhanced global warming and enhanced sea level rise) are defined as standalone scenarios, and the other four are presented as perturbations to be applied to UKCP18 climate projections from

of the range of potential possible outcomes or scenarios. Future Sea level rise using the Marine Projections: Bristol, as a coastal city, therefore required the inclusion of projections of sea level rise, which is available from UKCP. A timeseries plot of sea level anomalies (to the same baseline

projections come from Hinkel et al. (2014) and show the annual number of people flooded per year due to sea level rise per country. This assumes the level of population change in the 'middle of the road' socio-economic scenario (SSP2), with no additional adaptation to the changes, under a 'medium' ice
