The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s leading authority on climate, has published its latest report. Professor João Porto de Albuquerque, Director at the Institute for Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick, comments.

The UK State of the Climate report, published today, suggests that the UK is already feeling the impact of disruptive climate change. Dr Jonathan Clarke, from the Global Sustainable Development programme at the University of Warwick, comments on how society needs to prepare for these effects.

A report by the Climate Change Committee has concluded that the UK is unprepared for the effects of global warming, with homes, infrastructure and services all vulnerable. Dr Jonathan Clarke of Global Sustainable development comments on the reporting and the need to embrace 'adaptation'.

Members of the public have given their ideas for policies and action to help combat climate change in a report from the UK’s first Climate Assembly. Dr Jonathan Clarke of the Global Sustainable Development programme at the University of Warwick sees great potential in citizens assemblies in efforts to drive climate action.

Substantial flooding in parts of the UK has led to people being evacuated from homes and disruption to travel. Dr Jonathan Clarke from the Global Sustainable Development programme argues that the benefits of preparing for floods have been evident for a while, but uncertainty as to where responsibility lies hinders progress.
