New high-res climate models show Europe may face fewer severe hailstorms by 2100, but southern regions could see more of the largest, most damaging hail: tyndall.ac.uk/news/climate...

📹 Tyndall Centre's Asher Minns took questions from pupils in Hertfordshire on subjects from transport and wildlife to climate anxiety and their own contributions. Have a watch via ITV Anglia:

Policy decisions, not just climate change, will shape China’s future flood risk - Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research Land-use and development decisions may have a greater impact on coastal flood exposure in China than sea-level rise itself, according to a major international study.

Flood risks along coastlines aren't solely linked to #ClimateChange. New findings in Nature Climate Change suggest that land-use strategies and urban planning will be crucial for China's future adaptability: a lesson that holds importance worldwide. Full story:

"Climate change is an all-encompassing issue that we cannot ignore, waste time being inactive or argue about... We cannot wait or deliberate because we are already missing our chance to protect this region and our planet’s future. The co-benefits of climate action are considerable.”

Europe may see fewer severe hailstorms by 2100 but the larger, most damaging hailstones could become more common in the south of the continent.

A striking new study finds that China's policy and planning decisions will play a greater role than sea-level rise in shaping future #FloodRisk.

Development choices could determine whether millions of people and trillions of dollars of assets remain exposed.

Policy decisions, not just climate change, will shape China’s future flood risk - Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research Land-use and development decisions may have a greater impact on coastal flood exposure in China than sea-level rise itself, according to a major international study.

Coastal flood risk is not only about #ClimateChange.

New research in Nature Climate Change shows that land-use policy and spatial planning will be decisive in China's future resilience - a message with global relevance.

Key message from our new report: cutting methane is "the *fastest & most cost-effective lever* to slow warming within our lifetimes".
And behavioural change is central to this - making plant-based food more accessible and cheaper; and changing choice environments to cut food waste.
