Actions on Climate Change
1997 Kyoto Protocol
The UK's climate change programme
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Scientific evidence is growing that man-made emissions of greenhouse gases are having a noticeable effect on the earth's climate. Globally, seven of the ten warmest years on record were in the 1990's. In the future, the earth's climate could warm by as much as 3oC over the next 100 years. The social, environmental and economic costs associated with this could be huge. Climate change is one of the most serious environmental threats facing the world today. Its impacts will be felt across the world, as sea level rise threatens the existence of some small island states and puts millions of people at risk. Temperature increases, drought and flooding will affect people's health and way of life, and cause the irreversible loss of many species of plants and animals.

More information on the impacts and problems associated with Climate Change can be found from the following sites.


Hadley Centre The Hadley Centre provides much of the data highlighting the existence of Climate Change

Climate Impacts Programme The UK Climate Impacts Programme focusses on the impacts of Climate Change

Encyclopedia of the Atmospheric Environment The Encyclopedia of the Atmospheric Environment is supported by the DEFRA. The Encyclopedia is a one-stop source of information, for younger and older users alike, on a range of atmospheric issues.
