Climate change risk assessment

Over 700 potential impacts of climate change have been reviewed in the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) published by the Government on 25th January. The assessment is the first of its kind for the UK and the first in a five-year cycle.
Detailed analysis was undertaken for over 100 of these impacts across 11 key sectors, such as health, transport, the built environment and biodiversity services.
The outputs provide an evidence base that can be used by central Government in identifying priorities for action and appropriate adaptation measures that will be required to minimise risks to the UK’s economy, environment and society.
Although the primary audience for this work is central Government, the outputs from the CCRA are also of value to other public, voluntary and private sector organisations.
