The new Climate Adaptation Research and Innovation Framework (CARIF) describes the research and innovation needed to enable UK adaptation. In our blog, find out how our science informs adaptation advice to government and business to protect the UK from the worst climate change impacts.

Climate change is happening. We can see it in our observations. But adaptation to climate change needs to keep up with the weather

We keep seeing evidence that our climate is changing rapidly, with more extreme weather causing casualties, damage to infrastructure and businesses, and degradation of our natural environment.

Climate services can drive urban resilience—but how do we bridge the "last mile"? Key lessons: ✅ Start simple: clear, visual insights first. ✅ Integrate adaptation into broader urban planning. ✅ Frame resilience as an opportunity, not just risk. 📢 buff.ly/vqkwzZj

This is what environmental justice is - not what you think it is. This is how it looks in America. Climate justice is similar, and climate services support it. This is compassion for those harmed by our environmental destruction, and brave action to defend them. www.ehn.org/epa-environm...

America, this is what environmental justice is — and what we all stand to lose

Phil is a true public servant. No-one has made a greater contribution to climatology over the last half-century. He is a great role model for any early career climatologist. Get to know your data, inside-out and back to front. Build something authoritative from it. Keep improving it. Be useful!

This is a festive example of a weather service. A weather service pulls together a forecast and non-weather data (airline priorities). It applies that to a real-world problem (optimal flight path). It delivers the guidance the decision-maker needs. www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2024/ho...

I wrote this on 1.5°C eight years ago "Depending on climate sensitivity and natural variability, we could conceivably see the first year above 1.5°C as early as the late 2020s – but it is more likely to be later" It's looking like I was a bit too optimistic 🧵 theconversation.com/what-will-th...

What will the world actually look like at 1.5°C of warming?

By the time we hit that temperature, further climate changes will already be locked in and unavoidable.

In today's update to the WMO State of the Global Climate 2024 report for COP29, we show that the current level of global warming is about 1.3°C This is important because last year the COP28 text said it was only 1.1°C - but this was based on the 2011-2020 average 🧵 library.wmo.int/viewer/69075...

A graph showing 4 measures of current global warming: (i) the average of the last 10 years (1.2 degrees C); (ii) the average of the last 10 years and a projection of the next 10 years (1.3C); (iii) an estimate using statistical smoothing (also 1.3C); and a calculation of the human contribution to warming (also 1.3C). There are also error bars, the largest being for the human contribution to warming.
