Care about climate changes in the UK?

Climate change has potential risks for the UK, most critical of which is the frequency of extreme climatic conditions. The occurrence of hot, dry summers is likely to increase and by 2050 the average temperature is expected to rise by 1.5°C. A green roof will cool the local environment by as much as 5°C.


Also annual run-off from green roofs is reduced by up to 70% which contributes to urban drainage and flood alleviation schemes. Release following heavy rainfall is also slowed, reducing the problems associated with storm surges.
