Committee on Climate Change: Met Office for the ASC : Developing H++ climate change scenarios

The Adaptation Sub-Committee (ASC) of the Committee on Climate Change has been asked by the Government to lead the next UK Climate Change Risk Assessment. An ASC Evidence Report will be published in July 2016, before the final Government report is presented to Parliament in 2017. The ASC has commissioned four research projects to inform its 2016 assessment.

This report describes the results of a project to investigate the development of plausible high-end climate change scenarios. It covers the following climate hazards: heat waves, cold snaps, low and high rainfall, droughts, floods and windstorms. The scope of the project does not extend into defining the consequences of these hazards such as mortality, property damage or impacts on the natural environment.
