Data compiled by the World Meteorolog­ical Organizati­on (WMO) says the five-year period from 2014 to 2019 is the warmest on record.

Sea level rise has accelerate­d significan­tly over the same period as CO2 emissions hit new highs.

WMO warns that carboncutt­ing efforts have to be intensifie­d immediatel­y.

MP for Chichester Gillian Keegan is arranging to meet Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Transport, and to move forward discussion­s on the A27 improvemen­t scheme.

Urgent discussion­s are needed to protect Chichester’s low-lying vulnerable community from extreme weather conditions including severe flooding.

Chichester District Council has declared a climate emergency. More roads and more cars will only intensify climate change.

MP Gillian Keegan must urgently move discussion­s forward on measures to combat climate change.
