This report, commissioned by the UK Foreign Office, conducts a thorough climate change risk assessment and proposes risk mitigation strategies. The assessment considers three areas: the future pathway of global emissions; the direct risks arising from the climate’s response to those emissions; and the risks arising from the interaction of climate change with complex human systems. It concludes with recommendations for continuing assessment and suggestions for reducing risk.
