Indicators of Climate Change in the UKThe average global temperature has risen by 0.6oC in the last 130 years and estimates of future rises show temperatures could increase by up to 3.5oC by 2100. These predictions of global climate change mean there is now a need to develop a mechanism to assess the effects of climate change on the UK's economy, society and environment in order to inform the development of policy to adapt to such changes. The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) have produced a set of 34 indicators which can be used to monitor how the climate of the United Kingdom is changing. The ECN Climate Change Indicator pages generate graphs 'on-the-fly' direct from the ECN database to show recent changes in these indicators. When data is added to the ECN database it will be automatically included so you are seeing the most up-to-date data available from ECN's sites. Choose the indicator you are interested in from the list below. Click 'Submit' to view the page. Use 'Reset' to clear any selections.
