International dimensions of climate change
Like many countries, the UK is currently undertaking a major exercise to understand the level of risk posed by climate change, to inform the policies and measures that will need to be adopted over this century. This initiative is currently being led by government through the UK’s first Climate Change Risk Assessment and its findings will be laid before Parliament in January 2012. While considerable attention has been focused on the direct effects of climate change on the UK mainland, there may also be significant impacts on the UK from the effects of climate change on other countries around the world. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of these impacts, and shows that the potential implications for the UK are substantial.
