In order to enhance resilience to weather events and climate change, it is necessary to assess risk. This project provides first estimates of a series of indicators of climate risk, using UKCP18, relevant to climate risk assessments at national, devolved, and local levels, and over different time horizons. It will provide information valuable to the next Climate Change Risk Assessment, and help organisations understand their current and future risks.The project will also provide information about the relationship between future increases in temperature and future risk. For some indicators, risk will increase rapidly as temperature increases, but for others risk may only begin to increase significantly at higher temperature increases. Changes in risk will also be uncertain because we cannot yet predict future climate very precisely, so the project will also allow us to assess the confidence in projections of future risk.The project uses the new UKCP18 climate projections, and concentrates in the first instance on risks of weather extremes, floods and droughts, and risks to agricultural productivity.

为了增强对天气事件和气候变化的适应能力，有必要对风险进行评估。本项目利用UKCP18提供了一系列气候风险指标的初步估计，这些指标与国家、地方和地方各级不同时间范围的气候风险评估有关。它将为下一次气候变化风险评估提供有价值的信息，并帮助组织了解其当前和未来的风险。该项目还将提供有关未来温度升高与未来风险之间关系的信息。对于某些指标，风险将随着温度升高而迅速增加，但对于其他指标，风险可能仅在温度升高时才开始显著增加。风险的变化也将是不确定的，因为我们还不能非常精确地预测未来的气候，因此该项目也将使我们能够评估对未来风险预测的信心。该项目采用新的UKCP18气候预测，首先集中在极端天气、洪水和干旱的风险以及农业生产力的风险上。
