Projecting the future is challenging yet there are procedures to increase projection robustness. Few climate vulnerability researchers use these procedures. Here's how we can do better: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… Priestley Centre for Climate Futures

Can we trust climate vulnerability projections? Yes, to an extent but I argue that alot can be done to strengthen their robustness agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Excited to be at #ASSW2024 in Edinburgh which opened today. Lots of great discussions on wildfires and CC in our #HiFACE senses this morning Priestley Centre for Climate Futures

The UK is not resilient to the threats of climate change. Other countries from Germany to Bangladesh are doing more to adapt. UK plan needs
1. Coordination of plans across central and local gov
2. Investment aligned to clear targets
3. Monitoring of a set of key indicators

Come and join our leadership team at the Priestley Centre. We need an innovator to help us harness our research and teaching to tackle climate change
