About this Webinar

A summary will be given of the understanding of the changes that have occurred in global climate due to human activity and how it may change in decades to come. The talk will then turn to the UK and discuss the data for the UK that is available through the 2018 UK Climate Projections (UKCP18). The focus will be on water and the confidence that can be placed on the projections for it.
