14:14:14 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: IPCC refers to 5.7 degrees are we only expecting to get to 4 in the UK currently? 14:17:36 From Emma Ferranti to Everyone: David - 4 degrees refers to global average temperature so - 4 degrees warming in global average temperature does not mean 4 degrees warming in UK - the impact of 4 degrees warming will lead to localised changes in temperature (and other weather, and other impacts such as sea level rise). Not sure about 5.7 degrees figure you refer to. Hope that helps :-) (Emma Ferranti Uni Bham) 14:18:45 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: Hi Emma, thanks for the response. the last IPCC report actually says we could be going up to 5.7 but I believe this might be 2100 and I think Richard was talking 2080. 14:20:19 From Alan Carr - SWM to Everyone: For more info on all the things that Richard is talking about, check out the UK Climate Risk website: https://www.ukclimaterisk.org/ 14:20:56 From Emma Ferranti to Everyone: This page shows expected emissions and expected warming - https://climateactiontracker.org/global/temperatures/ 14:21:56 From Nicky Conway to Everyone: How do you develop the cost benefit ratios? It’s very powerful to see and help make the case, and it would help to understand how you calculated them? 14:22:53 From Helen Macintyre to Everyone: @DavidChapman There are also UK-specific climate projections available from the UKCP project by the Met Office. The latest projections can be found here along with some headline findings if this is helpful: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/approach/collaboration/ukcp/key-results 14:28:08 From Nicky Conway to Everyone: When you’re describing the impacts, is this under what degree of warming and what is the likelihood of this happening? 14:32:19 From Rebecca Lydon to Everyone: @HelenMacintyre interestingly, many technical disciplines and very well know methodologies for the built environment aren't utilising UKCP18 data but use 'topic specific guidance' or rely on the previous 09 dataset... a serious hole in the robustness of work aiming to aid adaptation measures! 14:33:37 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: Agree need to adapt to what we are going to see but so many sectors looking more at adaptation and not so much as prevention 14:37:57 From Emma Ferranti to Everyone: There is now an ISO standard for adapting to climate change, IS014090, it is design for any organisation/sector, regardless of their level of adaptation. There is also a British Standard on adaptation pathways BS 8631 14:38:51 From Chris Crean WM FOE to Everyone: collaboration is key for us all thanks Claire 14:39:50 From Hannah Smith, Arup to Everyone: Really interesting point about community resilience Clare. Are we best tackling the minimum social needs (regardless of climate) that are outside of most of our direct areas of influence e.g. poverty, health & wellbeing, Any tips for how we can try and do this with our very different backgrounds e.g. civil engineers? 14:43:14 From Ian Jenkinson to Everyone: Question for Richard and Clare. If the advice is that we plan adaptions for +2C and assess the risk for +4C. Do we know what +2 and +4 actually look like for rainfall, temperatures, etc ? 14:47:21 From Rachel Fisher to Everyone: The third round of the Adaptation reporting power submissions will be published very soon. Rachel Fisher Network Rail/UoB 14:48:55 From Rachel Fisher to Everyone: You can find out which organisations are also participating in the ARP3 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/climate-change-adaptation-reporting-third-round 14:49:24 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: believe 87 fires in 2018 and 137 in 2019 14:49:32 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: across the UK 14:57:44 From Jim Davies (EA) to Everyone: for those involved on industries requiring environmental permits (from us) - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/adapting-to-climate-change-risk-assessment-for-your-environmental-permit 14:58:00 From Jim Davies (EA) to Everyone: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adapting-to-climate-change-industry-sector-examples-for-your-risk-assessment 14:59:54 From Anna Livesey (Coventry CC) to Everyone: There is an opportunity through ICLEI to create a nature based solutions hub - we have been discussing informally with collagues how to do this and would be great to partner https://iclei-europe.org/news/?c=search&uid=Juz4oruS 15:01:19 From Julie Pope SWM to Everyone: https://www.sustainabilitywestmidlands.org.uk/news/community-green-grants-launched-to-give-people-access-to-nature-on-their-doorstep/ 15:02:10 From Helen Macintyre to Everyone: Greener NHS with the Net Zero plan can be found here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs/ 15:03:19 From Paul Fisher to Everyone: We are looking at having a joint Adaptation Plan in Sandwell between the council and NHS Trust - need more integration across the system 15:03:20 From Marie to Everyone: I am attending from an NHS Trust. We have just produced our Green Plan and Adaptation is included as part of this. 15:04:56 From Jim Davies (EA) to Everyone: Being a keen planorak and a TCPA member I would flag these guidance documents on Climate Change https://www.tcpa.org.uk/building-a-safer-future and https://www.tcpa.org.uk/planning-for-climate-change 15:05:35 From Chris Crean WM FOE to Everyone: Are not many current infrastructure projects such as new roads, HS2, airport expansions, sprawl developments such as new housing, business parks into the green belt and onto green field sites locking us into the wrong sort of carbon dependency? 15:16:29 From David Chapman (he/him) to Everyone: For those in Coventry and Warwickshire we are currently working on engaging all sectors in education and action on climate change through Green Week (7-13th March). If you're interested in supporting/taking part please get in touch with us - sustainability@warwick.ac.uk https://greenweek.coventry.domains/ and www.facebook.com/GreenWeek2022 15:16:48 From Stuart Ashmore - SCVO to Everyone: Thank you for this - all very useful/interesting & will be thinking how we can input/support. Have to leave for another meeting now. 15:17:09 From Rachel Fisher to Everyone: There are no easy questions when it comes to climate change! 15:17:11 From Helen Macintyre to Everyone: on urban heat in the WM, we have produce a coupe of scientific papers on the UHI across the WM and health. Helen.Macintyre@ukhsa.gov.uk 15:21:13 From Rachel Fisher to Everyone: First Steps in Urban Heat produced in part by the University of Birmingham. An accessible resource. Dr Emma Ferranti was involved in the production of this.http://epapers.bham.ac.uk/3452/2/TDAG_UrbanHeat.AW.pdf 15:21:18 From Chris Crean WM FOE to Everyone: Thanks for your honesty folks and it would be useful to hear the response from the CCC...there is a real issue here of no joined up thinking from the centre..... 15:21:36 From Anna Bright: SWM to Everyone: The Wildlife Trusts are also providing essential analysis to feed into local plans and development. Example here: https://www.bbcwildlife.org.uk/blackcountryplan 15:21:37 From Mike Dittman to Everyone: That is where Mitigation is essential, through offsite contributions etc and use it as a source of funding resource, as it will be difficult to oppose development which is also needed. Just make sure it is adaptable and mitigates its effects...hopefully... getting developers/LEPs online as well as Councillors is often v difficult 15:24:54 From Anna Bright: SWM to Everyone: Rachel - Great question, Through our partnership with EAUC we have engaged with many Midlands universities to share details on the development of the plan, next steps and how they can get involved. 15:28:12 From Jim Davies (EA) to Everyone: jim.davies@environment-agency.gov.uk
