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.

  1. 373 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 53% below 1990.

    Where do emissions stand?報告値

  2. 2022 was the first year above 10 °C; 40.3 °C was recorded in July 2022.

    Is the climate already changing?報告値

  3. Older people and those with chronic illness; about 2,985 heat-associated deaths in England in 2022.

    Who is most exposed to heat?報告値

  4. About 6.3 million properties in England, potentially 8 million by 2050.

    How large is flood exposure?報告値

  5. England faces a shortfall of nearly 5 billion litres a day by 2055 without action.

    Is water supply secure?シナリオ

03 · Contents

Eight chapters and three annexes.

  1. ·

    Executive summary

    The edition on a few pages: the abstract, the key messages, the headline finding and what each steward reads in it.

  2. 1

    Chapter 1. Britain’s risk is coupled, not cumulative

    Part I describes システム and their couplings.

  3. 2

    Chapter 2. Key findings

    Twelve findings carry the baseline. They are grouped by system, never ranked.

  4. 3

    Chapter 3. Systems and sectors at baseline

  5. 4

    Chapter 4. Risks and capability

    Four risk objects open the portfolio. Order carries no rank.

  6. 5

    Chapter 5. Hot, dry summer in southern England

    A conditional statement under stated assumptions, never a prediction.

  7. 6

    Chapter 6. Readings from the other desks

    The baseline is read through each steward’s lens, then once as a whole.

  8. 7

    Chapter 7. The 2027 agenda

    Eight bounded questions open the 2027 National Agenda.

  9. 8

    Chapter 8. Systems in depth

    One section per system: its state at evidence close, its exposures and what the operational series will watch.

  10. A

    Annex A. Methodology

    How the edition was made: methods, the model card, the evidence cut and its age, the acceptance record and the glossary.

  11. B

    Annex B. Data appendix

    The indicator set with its sources, the source registers, the licences of every kind of material and the formats of the edition.

  12. 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 不足 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.
