The first regional integrated assessment of climate change in the UK, this important study explores the potential impacts of such change upon key landscapes, economic and social sectors.

It is now accepted that the world’s climate has warmed by about 0.5Â°C over the past one hundred years and will continue to warm by as much as 6Â°C by the end of the current century. What, however, do such fundamental changes actually mean for life and the economy at the local and regional scales for the industrialized nations? This extensive study represents a state-of-the-art regional assessment of the impacts of climate change in an industrialized European nation. Providing a comprehensive set of tools, techniques and strategies, it explores the potential impacts of climate change upon key landscapes, economic and social sectors.
