UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA)
The CCRA is composed of both a government report presented to Parliament and a detailed underlying evidence base, including a highly detailed Evidence Report, reports for 11 sectors, and reports for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The CCRA brings together a broad evidence base – including the UK Climate Projections 2009, government reports, peer-reviewed literature and new analysis – to produce a long-list of 700 climate risks. 100 risks from the long-list across a range of sectors are compared based on the magnitude of risks, how the magnitude of risk varies over time, and the confidence in the evidence base.
The CCRA identifies the key risks and opportunities in the UK for the following themes:
– Agriculture and forestry
– Business
– Health & wellbeing
– Buildings and infrastructure
– Natural environment.
