The Society of Brownfield Risk Assessment (SoBRA) has updated its 2022 document, Guidance on assessing risk to controlled waters from land contamination under conditions of future climate change, to align with evolving UK policy and guidance.
The revised guidance will further assist land contamination professionals to make informed decisions about future climate risk to controlled waters receptors. Key enhancements include signposting to updated climate projection databases and further exploring the influence of extreme weather events on the conceptual site model. To support practical application, the guidance contains a series of worked examples.
The information included in this publication is correct as of 30 June 2025. Due to the evolving nature of climate research, policy and guidance, users should ensure they are consulting the most up-to-date scientific information available to support their controlled waters risk assessments.
