The UK's Met Office Hadley Center compiled information on the physical impacts of climate change for more than 20 countries. Here, some of the findings.
The Hadley Center provides in-depth information and advises the United Kingdom's government on climate science issues. The center's researchers contribute to a variety of climate science reports, including the Assessment Report of the IPCC. Its climate projections were also the basis for the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change.
In April 2011, the Center was asked by the United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to review and aggregate "scientifically robust and impartial information on the physical impacts of climate change" for more than 20 countries. In this gallery, some of the findings are summarized.
