| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Membership of a guideline committee |
| Impact | This work has influenced DfID's decisions in their humanitarian response to the current El Nino event. The initial phase of the analysis (Jul-Aug 2015) focused on the impact of historical El Nino events on 30+ low- and middle-income countries. Since then DfID commissioned us to produce monthly updates (Nov 2015-Mar 2016) on the current El Nino event, including an outlook for the next 1-6 months using sub-seasonal and seasonal forecast data. In total this has been ~ 3months of time. DfID have recently asked that we continue this work to focus on historical impacts of La Nina events. |

| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | 1. The Investigators worked closely with the financial sector to improve insurance provision for African farmers. This has resulted in extending insurance to more than 1M farmer households in Zambia. 2. The Investigators have also collaborated with the Africa Risk Capacity to incorporate NCAS/University of Reading datasets into the Africa Risk Viewer (ARV), and supported ARC with the use of these data for informing the release of aid across Africa. 3. The Investigators have provided software to PULA Advisors for objective diagnosis of the onset of the rainy season in southern Africa. This has improved the quality of PULA's replanting insurance products. 4. Drought predictions and drought monitoring information, provided by the Investigators, are being incorporated into the World Food Programme seasonal monitoring bulletins for southern Africa. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partners have co-developed datasets and products (as described above), and provided feedback on their utility for decision making. |
| Impact | Over 1 million farmers are now insured in Zambia using TAMSAT data and products. These farmers received pay outs that have helped them weather several years of poor weather. |

| Results and Impact | In May 2016 I created a 'climate spiral', showing global temperature changes since 1850. This went 'viral', being shared millions of times on facebook and seen by millions on twitter. It featured in several online and print media outlets. Later in the year, a version of the spiral was used during the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, being seen by over 1 billion people. |

| Results and Impact | Into the blue Manchester was held at the Manchester Runway Visitor Park between 25th October and 29th October 2016. Staged under the wings of Concorde, the event consisted of five days of science engagement with a total audience of approximately 5,250 people, an average of over 1,000 visitors each day. Researchers, science communicators, stakeholders and the general public were brought together to bring alive the science we live and breathe. Into the blue was conceived, funded and managed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the UK's leading commissioner of environmental science. NERC has an obligation by royal charter to communicate its research with the public and to create a dialogue that can benefit environmental science, researchers, and society as a whole. In 2016 NERC capitalised on its unique opportunity to engage with public audiences by materialising the UK's largest research aircraft at Into the blue Manchester. The FAAM aircraft provided Into the blue with a central motif that brought to life the UK's world leading research capabilities. Into the blue Manchester offered visitors a chance to tour the FAAM aircraft, attend talks, meet scientists and interact with a diverse range of hands-on science exhibits. Event contributors represented more than 30 universities and research centres across the UK, showcasing the very best of UK environmental science research. From the outset it was clear that Into the blue was going to be more ambitious than any event NERC had staged before. To measure the success of Into the blue and to improve future events a comprehensive evaluation has been carried out. This has provided insights and metrics to allow NERC to respond to feedback. By engaging with and listening to our audiences we aim to improve future practice. This evaluation aims to establish how far the Into the blue showcase was able to achieve the four primary objectives set out by NERC: Make NERC science accessible to the public, stimulating enthusiasm and support for UK environmental science; Engage targeted stakeholders with NERC science and innovation to create advocates for NERC; Engage our colleagues to encourage pride in NERC and act as ambassadors; Create a focal point for broad-reaching mass public engagement via media and social media based on these events. |

| Results and Impact | Operation Weather Rescue is a citizen science project to digitise lost weather measurements from over 100 years ago. Over 3,700 volunteers have rescued 177,504 hours of weather data from the historic Ben Nevis Observatory so far, and more are continuing to digitise further records. This project is led by Ed Hawkins (NCAS Climate) and Harriett Richardson (NCAS Comms) and has strengthened our partnership with RMetS via Marjory Roy. Operation Weather Rescue results were displayed at NERC's UnEarthed event in Edinburgh (November 2017). Operation Weather Rescue and the subsequent NCAS temporary weather station which was installed on Ben Nevis, led to substantial press coverage e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-41177662/ben-nevis-weather-records-to-enter-the-digital-age and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-41918646. |

The main focus of the stand was to engage visitors with climate modelling and climate change, through the use of games and spherical projections of model scenarios. The exhibition was attended by over 14,000 members of the public, including 2,500 school students. Harriett Richardson spoke to BBC's Click about about the NERC & Met Office climate modelling project, UKESM1: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08y6zyx/click-city-clickers#t=14m30s. |
