An early warning system that detects increasing levels of climate impacts is being developed by academics, insurance industry partners and the Met Office. Using decision games and storylines, the researchers will also create models of how insurers and reinsurers would respond to different levels of climate change, now and in the future. Making sure that...
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C in about four years. Crucially, the rate at which heat is accumulating in the Earth system suggests high levels of...
Fourteen of the UK's most promising climate tech companies have been selected for EarthScale's second cohort, spanning biomaterials, energy, carbon removal, the built environment, and the circular economy. EarthScale’s 12-month programme is UK-wide and supports IP-rich climate tech ventures to scale, navigate manufacturing and raise Series A funding. Among those selected for the programme’s second...
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) recently published the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment – Independent Assessment (CCRA4‑IA), a comprehensive evidence base on the risks climate change poses to the UK and the actions needed to strengthen resilience. CCRA4‑IA consists of a Met Office‑led Technical Report and a CCC‑led Well-Adapted UK Report. The assessment combines up‑to‑date...
New railways could hold the key to cleaner, cheaper heating, through using underground tunnels as a heat source. Harnessing heat from tunnels and other buried infrastructure could produce locally-sourced, secure, affordable heating – and cooling – for nearby homes and businesses, according to a new University study. Researchers have found that, depending on the specific...
