With leading speakers including the Climate Change Committee (CCC), this webinar outlined key messages from the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3) and the Climate Change Committee’s latest Progress Report. We also looked forward to key developments this year and beyond from both IEMA and the CCC. This webinar outlined the key messages from the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3) and the Climate Change Committee’s latest Progress Report. It also looked forward to future developments, including a developing IEMA guide this year. In January the Government published the UK’s Third Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3). The five-year assessment, delivered under the Climate Change Act 2008 and following advice from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), identifies the risks that the UK faces climate change. These include risks to its natural environment, its food and water supplies, its infrastructure, the health and wellbeing of its population and disruption to its business. Many of the risks are already material and all are expected to worsen under warming of 2°C, with escalating impacts in a 4ºC scenario even with high levels of adaptation. Climate change may also present some opportunities for the UK, however most of these opportunities will not be realised unless the corresponding risk is also addressed.
