United Kingdom 2026
Соединенное Королевство
The United Kingdom enters 2027 having cut its territorial emissions by 53% since 1990, to 373 Mt CO₂e in 2024, and closed its last coal-fired power station in September 2024. Its climate risks have moved from projection to record.

01 · Readings
United Kingdom in six readings.
Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score.
- WATВода3 findings
≈5 bn litres/day Projected public water-supply shortfall, England, 2055. ○Сценарий
Flood exposure rising; supply shortfall projected in the South and East; river quality under strain.
- ENEЭнергетика1 finding
373 Mt CO₂e Territorial emissions, 2024. □Сообщённые данные
Coal ended in 2024; clean power planned for 2030; grid more central as demand electrifies.
- INFИнфраструктура1 finding
Lifelines interdependent; single points of failure exposed in 2025.
- FOOПродовольствие1 finding
≈60% Share of food consumed that is produced domestically, 2023. □Сообщённые данные
About 60% of food produced domestically; exposed to import and energy prices.
- HLTЗдравоохранение1 finding
2,985 deaths Heat-associated deaths, England, 2022. □Сообщённые данные
Heat deaths rising; heat and cold load the NHS and social care.
- BIOБиоразнообразие1 finding
−19% Average change in abundance of studied species, 1970–2021. □Сообщённые данные
Species abundance down 19% since 1970; habitats fragmented.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 2, Governance 1, Systemic 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-GBR-HDS-01
Hot, dry summer in southern England
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The United Kingdom matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core системы. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.
