Abstract

This first climate risk session will set the scene for the Climate Exp0 conference. With global temperatures now over 1°C above pre-industrial levels, and as the impacts of climate change are starting to be felt around the world, this session will present an overview of our current understanding of climate risk including systemic risks resulting from impacts cascading through inter-related systems and the risk of passing tipping points. Building on the Met Office conference “Science for a resilient future” held last week, the session will also point to the opportunities to create a more resilient and sustainable net zero future for the world.
