Climate Change and the greenhouse effect
The Met Office's Hadley Centre has produced a collection of 60 slides with notes, containing up-to-date knowledge of the state of the climate
and projections for the future. The publication is accompanied by a CD-based power point presentation of the 60 slides. The CD, along
with a paper copy of the briefing, can be obtained free of charge from the Hadley Centre website at: http://www.metoffice.com/research/hadleycentre/pubs/brochures/.
The South West Environmental Observatory has also published presentation slides summarising the state of the South West's environment on their website. These slides reveal key environmental trends in the region, as well as
how the Observatory reports on the environment. Their website is at www.swenvo.org.uk (select 'Environmental Reporting' to see slides).

JANUARY 2003 - LAUNCH EVENTS
"Warming
to the idea – meeting the challenge of climate change in the South West” was launched in January 2003 by Michael Meacher, the then Minister of State for the Environment and Agri-Environment. Over
160 interested parties, representatives of organisations and individuals, attended the launch events at Bristol Zoo and the National Marine
Aquarium in Plymouth.
Delegates were provided with questionnaires giving them an opportunity to indicate which of the recommendations and actions
identified in the Scoping Study that they considered to be the highest priority for future work of the South West Climate Change
Impacts Partnership. An analysis of the returned questionnaires can be seen from the link below - it showed that the majority of delegates (81%) considered raising awareness of climate
change impacts to be the highest priority over the next year. Delegate feedback also identified six priority sector groups upon which
activity should be focussed. Click to view :-
