1376512185Bristol City CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future3Significant drought is not considered as a highly likely hazard in Bristol at this time, but with the projected impacts of climate change it is likely to become a greater issue. Summer precipitation is projected to decrease under all emissions scenarios. UK climate projections suggest that the rate of summer precipitation in Bristol could decrease by 18-45% between now and 2050 and by 26-68% by 2080. The realisation of this change would significantly increase the risk of drought in Bristol. Bristol is more vulnerable to droughts which haven't occurred during the historic record, specifically where a long-duration drought occurs or if there is a very severe drought that begins in early winter (i.e. reservoirs haven't refilled). The impacts of drought are exacerbated by extended periods of hot temperatures. More frequently occurring hot and dry periods also provides less opportunity for post-drought recovery.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future4Bristol is prone to flooding and there have been several small flood events in recent years, however through effective flood risk management, major flooding has been avoided. However, climate change is likely to increase the frequency and intensity of the hazard, making the city more vulnerable. Winter precipitation is projected to increase, meaning milder and wetter winters in Bristol. Under RCP8.5 scenario winter precipitation could increase by up to 50% by 2080. This considerable increase of winter rainfall and a change in pattern of summer rainfall events exposes Bristol to fluvial (river) and pluvial (rainfall) flood risk of both greater extent and frequency of occurrence. Given the projected impacts of climate change on precipitation and sea level rise, flooding is considered to be the greatest physical hazard facing the city.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future5Bristol is prone to occasional flooding from very high tides/ tidal surges up the River Avon, however the impact of this flooding is usually very minor. However, projected sea-level rise due to climate change is likely to increase the risk of tidal flooding in the city centre and coastal flooding in the Avonmouth region in the future. In an RCP8.5 scenario, the sea level around Bristol is projected to rise by over 70cm in the next 60 years. Sea level rise in the south of the UK is projected to be more severe than the rest of the UK due to land movement. Given the projected impacts of climate change on precipitation and sea level rise, flooding is considered to be the greatest physical hazard facing the city. The greater the duration of a flooding event, the greater the impact on the city. For example, where a flood event impacts transport infrastructure, access to facilities, such as healthcare, or the movement of supply chains would greatly be impeded. This has knock on effects on the population’s way of life, which would only increase in severity with duration.
1376542185Bristol City CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1aHave you identified the most vulnerable geographic areas in your city?1Response1Vulnerable geographic areasYes
1376552185Bristol City CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1aHave you identified the most vulnerable geographic areas in your city?2Describe the methodology or process to identify these most vulnerable areas (e.g. mapping hotspots)1Vulnerable geographic areasThere are detailed flood maps which identify the most at risk areas in the city for tidal, river and flash flooding. These maps are based on flood studies and models and show potential flood extents for the present day 2070's and 2110's taking into consideration climate change scenarios. There are flood maps for different flow events, e.g. 1 in 2 year,1 in 100 year, 1 in 200 year, for both fluvial and tidal flooding and for worst case scenarios where fluvial and tidal floods happen simultaneously. The maps indicate flood extent and depth geographically across the city. We are also working on the development of a GIS mapping tool which will bring together data on climate-related hazards, urban characteristics and socio-economics. This will provide insights into the vulnerability of people to climate-risks. Currently the tool is under-development and is focused on heat risk. This tool uses satellite-derived land surface temperature and hotspots analysis to identify areas of relative heat risk within the city. Through overlaying this data with socio-demographic data as a proxy for population sensitivity and adaptive capacity we can identify the most vulnerable geographic areas in the city to heat stress.A Heat Vulnerability Index is being developed to strengthen our understanding of spatial variation in vulnerability to heat stress across the city. Constructed using over 50 separate risk layers, the index is nearing completion and will feed into the development of Bristol’s urban heat resilience plan. Risk layers investigate Bristol’s Urban Heat Island and areas where higher temperatures are likely to occur within the city. Layers have been included on land cover & land use factors which influence air temperature and UHI development plus layers covering characteristics such as urban geometry, satellite-derived land surface temperature and measures of green space. Buildings which are at high risk of overheating (contributing to occupants’ heat stress) have been identified. This data has been overlaid with socio-demographic data as a proxy for population sensitivity and adaptive capacity, enabling us to identify the most vulnerable geographic areas in the city to heat stress. All data has been summarised at multiple spatial scales to ensure relevance to a wide range of users.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city5Climate change affects every corner of life. A climate resilient city is dependent on the actions of many at all scales from national government down to the individual citizen. Transformative systemic change is needed - accelerating the speed of transition and level of ambition over the next decade. Addressing climate risk needs to become business as usual rather than just tinkering around the edges. Strong leadership, increasing awareness across all stakeholders, organisational change e.g. processes & practices, learning culture, partnership working; supportive rules and powers including statutory/mandatory requirements for climate resilience and reporting, significant funding and finance, growth in appropriate skills and capacity, the right data and knowledge, and widespread engagement from all walks of life.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city6We need robust, shared and organised data which can be used across the city's organisations to enable a shared understanding and a shared evidence base. This is critical for building a more climate resilient city. Challenges include the lack of tools to monitor climate change impacts, limited information on infrastructure and supply chain resilience and a better picture of the impact of a 2 and 4 degree world on the UK.

Collective action is needed to facilitate the transformative change necessary so that our building and infrastructure continued to perform within specified tolerances over the coming decades. Action includes updating design standards, funding for retrofit, collective learning from funded demonstration/pilot projects, and support to transform the whole sector including supply chains.
