- This paper presents the methodology developed to produce the Committee on Climate Change, UK Climate Change Risk Assessment 2017 Evidence Report (https://www.theccc.org.uk/tackling-climate-change/preparing-for-climate-change/uk-climate-change-risk-assessment-2017/ , and https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/UK-CCRA-2017-Chapter-4-Infrastructure.pdf). The report has guided policy in the devolved governments of the UK and RCUK research priorities since it was presented to Parliament in January 2018. Several countries use the report to guide their policies and have reproduced the methodology (e.g. Australia, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-019-02367-z). In citing papers, the methodology has been praised for being the first to consider cascade risks where the failure of one system leads to failure of others (http://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2018.0106).
