Future/ Risk/ Tick √: Future Climate Projections Show us a Possible Future
Organizer: Lloyd’s Register Foundation, National University of Singapore
| An interactive active session, starting with a weather bulletin for the 2050s, and seeking advice from experts and the audience on risk resilient practices using future climate projections. Panelists include Met Office Climate Science, Red Cross Climate Centre, World Bank and World Food Programme experts. The Host of the session will provide further context on an Imaginary Country. The challenges the people of this nation face NOW are more frequent and intense Tropical Cyclones, which lead to flooding. Seasonal forecasts indicate the possibility of more frequent droughts. And climate projections to the 2050s/2080s indicate this country is likely to experience a potential desertification in a specific region. The information on the Imaginary Country will set the scene for an interactive discussion with expert panellists and will seek input from audiences on how we can incorporate future climate projections and potential risks into our early warnings and actions today. |
