Under different future scenarios, how will the climate and associated impacts change globally and within the UK, including variability, extreme weather and “tail risks”?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
