Climate Change and Health in Wales: Views from the public


The sixth and most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that human influence has unequivocally warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land since the mid-1800s. Since the period 1850-1900, global surface temperatures have risen by 1.09oC (2011-2020). Temperatures are expected to rise further in the longer term, with predicted temperature rises in 2081-2100 ranging from 1.0-1.18oC (lowest emissions scenario) to 3.3-5.7oC (highest emissions scenario) compared to the period 1850-1900. With changes in global temperature influencing climate systems, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, heavy precipitation and droughts is increasing across the globe.
