Dear Colleague,

2. Oxford launch of UKCP09, 2 July (4-7 pm)
1. UK Climate Projections to be launched today (18 June)
The UK Climate Projections (UKCP09) are being launched on Thursday 18 June. UKCP09 provides the latest information on how continued emissions of greenhouse gases may change the UK’s climate over 21st century. The information provided by UKCP09 will be valuable to anyone with responsibility for forward planning in the public, private and voluntary sectors. UKCP09 comprises a package of information including, publications, key findings, user support and customisable output. This is primarily available on-line.
* For access to the main technical information about UKCP09, and the full range of information and support, go to http://ukclimateprojections.defra.gov.uk.
* A gentler introduction is available at http://ukcp09.defra.gov.uk.
UKCP09 is accompanied by a training programme – Projections in Practice (PiP) – and more information can be found at www.ukcip.org.uk/training.
2. Oxford launch of UKCP09, 2 July (4-7 pm)
UKCIP is organising a introduction to UKCP09, primarily for Oxford-based organisations and individuals. There will be presentations outlining the key findings from UKCP09, and exploring the science that underpins them. A panel session will take questions from participants on any aspect of the Projections and its potential uses.
While this event is intended for those local to the Oxford area, we expect that there will be wider interest. If you would like to register you interest, please go to www.tinyurl.com/UKCIP09.
