Tools and Resources

The Local Climate Impacts Profile (LCLIP) is a tool developed by the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP). The tool helps organisations explore the impacts and consequences of past weather events by reviewing local media reports to identify the local impacts and consequences of extreme weather events.

This resource is designed to help organisations and sectors save time and effort, through researching how previous weather events have affected their sector.
