in sophistication between stakeholders, with many examples of users not able to maximise the value of the climate information. There is also substantial evidence that understanding people’s perceptions of climate-related risks is essential when developing policy to manage them, e.g. by influencing individual

to year-to-year variability. In all simulations, the number of tropical cyclones varies substantially each year due to natural climate variability and the influence of large-scale climate processes, such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This means

forecast method uses total annual global emissions of 11.1 GtC, with annual emissions from fossil fuel burning and land use change estimated as 10.0 GtC and 1.1 GtC respectively, for 2022. Our prediction of a smaller atmospheric CO2 rise this year is due to natural climate variability being expected
