Spotlight on 'Hadley Centre Climate Programme'

On 27 January, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) published a value-for-money analysis into the economic benefits of the Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme (HCCP) – the report concluded that the 2018-21 phase of the programme had a return on investment of £33 for every £1 invested. 

The independent analysis, carried out by London Economics and Frazer Nash Consultancy, also showed that the work of the HCCP has significantly deepened the understanding of climate change at all levels of UK industry and government and bolstered the UK's status as a global leader in climate science. It has also fostered collaboration between universities and research institutions and improved access to climate data.
