Recent changes in climate have caused increased impacts such as storms, droughts, rainfall, and sea level rise. This will continue and worsen throughout the 21st century and is an urgent call to all to prepare, adapt and become resilient.

The UK Government's Met Office has now launched a comprehensive map which can assist in planning for adaptation. The map shows current and predicted climate change impacts around the world. It shows how and where the effects of climate change can affect and harm human lives.
