The planet is already committed to a certain level of climate change over the next 50 years. As well as giving help in understanding the core aspects of the science, the Met Office provides advice on adaptation and mitigation for planning purposes. Is your organisation ready to face the challenges that a changing climate will bring?
The information the Met Office can provide helps organisations make the right decisions now in planning for the future.
The production of this report requires a huge effort that spans the world and involves the leading research centres from around the world. From the UK, the Met Office is the single biggest scientific contributor and after the publication of this report, is ideally placed to comment on the science and its impacts.

For government
The Met Office advises the UK Government in terms of the science, we also offer advice internationally to other governments and administrations to help understand and deal with the changing climate. Although the Met Office Hadley Centre is the body responsible for advising Government on climate change science, it is the responsibility of Defra to direct UK Government policy on this matter.
For public
It is important that individuals are aware of the issues and are best placed to make the right decisions for themselves and their families. To help with this, key sources of information are: Met Office Hadley Centre, IPCC, Defra, UKCIP, Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Tyndall Centre.
