UK climate change risk assessment: Evidence report

Hames, Dominic

Abstract

The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) Evidence Report was published by the Government on 25 January 2012. It was the first ever UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA1), which are published on a 5-yealry cycle, a requirement of the 2008 Climate Change Act.
This report assessed over 100 risks and opportunities, narrowed down from an initial list of over 700, and was prepared by a consortium led by the consultancy HR Wallingford. The accompanying Government Report set out the main priorities for adaptation in the UK under 5 key themes identified in the Evidence Report. It also described the policy context, and action already in place to tackle some of the risks in each area.
