3ºC Neighbourhood
3ºC Neighbourhood is a new piece of research co-authored by CIVIC SQUARE and Dark Matter Labs. It seeks to understand current risks UK urban neighbourhoods face over this century due to climate and ecological breakdown under a high emissions scenario, the likely result of which will be a rise in average global temperature of 3ºC.
