Impacts Database
|
|
Description
|
The impacts database is a web-based database of climate / weather-related impacts as reported in
the media. It enables the user to assess the impacts of a particular climatic event thereby
enabling them to plan for future events of its kind.
|
|
Appropriate Use
|
The tool is useful in assessing what impacts may result from extreme weather events. It is not for
use in distinguishing whether a particular weather event was a result of climate change.
|
|
Scope
|
The majority of impacts documented in the impacts database are UK-based. However, there are certain
instances of impacts outside of the UK.
