The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, launched guidance aimed at developers at the Thames Gateway Forum November 2005 on behalf of the London Climate Change Partnership, South East Climate Change Partnership and East of England Sustainable Development Roundtable. The checklist for development argues the principle that developments should be designed to be adapting to the changing climate throughout their lifetime, and covers water re-use and efficiency, reducing flood risk, avoiding overheating and minimising damage from subsidence and heave.

Building knowledge for a changing climate: Mid-project update 2005

BKCC is a portfolio of research projects looking at how climate change will affect different aspects of the built environment. It addresses some of the research needs of decision-makers dealing with buildings, transport and utilities infrastructure in responding to the impacts of a changing climate in the UK. It is promoted jointly by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP).

As most of the projects began in 2003 and are due to finish in 2006, it was thought useful to provide some information, in the form of ‘Briefing Notes’, at the half-way stage providing a synopsis of the aims and methodology of each project and indicating some of the expected outcomes and the timetable for dissemination.

Building knowledge for a changing climate: collaborative research to understand and adapt to the impacts of climate change on infrastructure, the built environment and utilities

This publication reports results from the portfolio of nine BKCC projects looking at the impact of climate change on urban drainage, engineered slopes, the electricity supply industry, the aviation industry, historic buildings and infrastructure, as well as the urban environment more generally.

A summary of each of the projects is given which provides context, states the objectives, provides an overview of the methodology, highlights the key results and suggests how those results relate to policy and practice.

Costing the impacts of climate change in the UK’ is the latest tool from UKCIP to help organisations prepare for climate change. As well as introducing a method for valuing the impacts of climate change, it also shows how to compare these to the costs of adaptation, so that organisations can work out how much they will need to spend on adapting to climate change.

The MONARCH programme brings together researchers and stakeholders to study the impacts of climate change on a range of species and habitats. The first report from MONARCH showed how species distribution might look under a changed climate, using plants and animals from land, sea and freshwater environments as examples.

Monarch 2 – modelling natural resource responses to climate change

The report of the second phase of the Monarch (Modelling Natural Resource Responses to Climate Change) project is now available, focussing upon four case study areas in Hampshire, Central Highlands, Snowdonia and Cuilcagh and Pettigo in Ireland.

Monarch (Modelling Natural Resource Responses to Climate Change): a synthesis for biodiversity conservation (MONARCH 3)

The MONARCH synthesis report is the result of a seven-year partnership programme, involving 15 partner organisations across Britain and Ireland, including governmental agencies and NGOs and a research team led by the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford. The final phase of the MONARCH programme studied the projected change in suitable climate for 120 rare or threatened species that are currently being conserved through the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Thirty-two of these were explored in detail and it was found that a majority are likely to be affected by climate change.

The climate of the United Kingdom and recent trends

This is the first in a series of reports under the umbrella of the UK Climate Projections (known as UKCP09).

It is useful to understand the risks that current climate already poses to individuals, landscapes, organisations and the economy, before moving on to explore future climate risks. This new report provides information to support this first step, stimulating better understanding of how the UK’s climate affects our lives.
