Details
This report card is intended for those working or with an interest in water – including rainfall, floods and drought – in the UK. The original report was published in 2012 to 2013, and this update looks forward to the rest of the 21st century.
The main report card is supported by technical source papers focusing on 13 specific climate change issues, along with two technical summary working papers published alongside the 2012 to 2013 report and the 2016 update.
