01 · Status
Status and boundaries.
This edition governs nothing and confers no certification. It records where the evidence stood at the 2026 baseline. Every value resolves to its source or to its stated method; where neither exists, the edition says so instead of filling the gap.

02 · Key messages
What the edition finds.
Five of the questions the edition answers, each with its status. The executive summary has all of them, with their sources.
373 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 53% below 1990.
Where do emissions stand?Gemeldet
2022 was the first year above 10 °C; 40.3 °C was recorded in July 2022.
Is the climate already changing?Gemeldet
Older people and those with chronic illness; about 2,985 heat-associated deaths in England in 2022.
Who is most exposed to heat?Gemeldet
About 6.3 million properties in England, potentially 8 million by 2050.
How large is flood exposure?Gemeldet
England faces a shortfall of nearly 5 billion litres a day by 2055 without action.
Is water supply secure?Szenario
03 · Contents
Eight chapters and three annexes.
- ·
The edition on a few pages: the abstract, the key messages, the headline finding and what each steward reads in it.
- 1
Chapter 1. Britain’s risk is coupled, not cumulative
Part I describes Systeme and their couplings.
- 2
Twelve findings carry the baseline. They are grouped by system, never ranked.
- 3
- 4
Chapter 4. Risks and capability
Four risk objects open the portfolio. Order carries no rank.
- 5
Chapter 5. Hot, dry summer in southern England
A conditional statement under stated assumptions, never a prediction.
- 6
Chapter 6. Readings from the other desks
The baseline is read through each steward’s lens, then once as a whole.
- 7
Eight bounded questions open the 2027 National Agenda.
- 8
One section per system: its state at evidence close, its exposures and what the operational series will watch.
- A
How the edition was made: methods, the model card, the evidence cut and its age, the acceptance record and the glossary.
- B
The indicator set with its sources, the source registers, the licences of every kind of material and the formats of the edition.
- C
Annex C. References and record
Every source the edition rests on, the publication record, the corrections log and the open record.

04 · GCRI reading
How GCRI reads this edition.
The evidence supports a coupled reading of British risk. Heat, flooding and water Stromknappheit are already recorded, not projected; electrification makes the grid central; and food and nature carry slower exposures. Evidence is strongest for emissions and flood exposure, weakest for lifeline interdependence.
