Introduction
North Tyneside’s climate is changing. The hottest and the wettest years since records began have occurred within the last 10 years. This is a consequence of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere that contribute to global warming.
The Borough is experiencing more severe climate-related events such as storms, high temperatures, and rising sea levels. These events have impacted the lives and livelihoods of residents across North Tyneside. With global temperatures set to increase, we will continue to see wetter winters, hotter and dryer summers, and more frequent extreme weather events.
