Climate change impacts in London
London’s warming – the impacts of climate change on London found that the effects of climate change on the capital would cover these areas:
- Higher temperatures
- Flooding
- Water resources
- Health
- Biodiversity
- Built environment
- Transport
- Business and finance
- Tourism
- Lifestyle
For example:
-
London's transport system and ancillary services are vulnerable to disruption from flooding and other extreme weather events that are expected to increase in frequency and intensity.
-
Subsidence will worsen as clay soils dry out in summer and autumn
Increased temperatures will reduce comfort of occupants in domestic, commercial and public buildings, and could lead to business disruption.
-
The London insurance industry could be exposed to an increased volume of claims from wind storms and flood events
