7 Broad input assumptions Sea level rise in the Thames over the next century due to thermal expansion of the oceans, melting glaciers and polar ice is likely to be between 20cm and 90cm. There remains a lot of uncertainty over the contribution of polar ice melt to increasing sea level rise. At the extreme, it may cause sea level to rise by a total of up to 2 m (including thermal expansion) although this is thought to be highly unlikely. Upper limit assumed to be 2.7m Climate change is less likely to increase storm surge height and frequency in the North Sea than previously thought. Future peak freshwater flows for the Thames, at Kingston for instance, could increase by around 40% by Page 7
8 Some questions What will London and the Thames Estuary look like in 100 years? How will public attitudes to flood risk and the environment change over this time? Flood risk today, and in the future? What are the best ways of managing this risk?.. ensuring Plan is adaptable to change and remains fit for purpose for 100 years?.. Presenting Plan ed in a way which promotes multipartner working (key Pitt recommendation) Page 8
9 TE2100 HEADLINE OBJECTIVES: To manage the risk of flooding to people, and minimise the adverse impacts of flooding to property and the environment; To adapt to the challenges that we will face from climate change; To support and inform the land use planning process to ensure appropriate, sustainable and resilient development in the tidal floodplain; To protect the social, cultural and commercial value of the tidal River, its tidal tributaries and its floodplains; To enhance and restore estuarine ecosystems to contribute to biodiversity targets and maximise the environmental benefits of natural floods.

The portfolios of responses are designed to keep the area of mudflat and saltmarsh above present-day level. 2. The timing of realignments is to a large degree dependent on when existing defences would otherwise require replacement. Page Impact of Mean Sea Level increase (and other changes) on habitat area

19 TE 2100 Policy Options P1 No active intervention (including flood warning and maintenance). Continue to monitor and advise. P2 Reduce existing flood risk management actions (accepting that flood risk will increase over time). P3 Continue with existing or alternative actions to manage and maintain flood risk at the current level (accepting that the likelihood and/or consequences of a flood will increase over time from this baseline). P4 Take further action to sustain current scale of flood risk into the future (responding to potential increases in flood risk from urban development, land use change, and climate change). P5 Take further action to reduce the risk of flooding (now and/or in the future). Page 19

27 TE2100 the first 25 Years Continue to maintain the current flood defence system including planned improvements Working with regional and local planning authorities to improve floodplain management Safeguard areas that may be required for future changes to flood managements Commencing work to create new habitats Monitor/Review the use of Thames Barrier for fluvial floods in West London Page 27
28 TE2100 the next 35 years and from 2070, moving into the 22nd century!!!! Replacing and upgrading defences upstream and downstream of Thames Barrier Continue working with regional and local planning authorities on riverside improvements Take informed decision on building a new barrier at Long Reach or other end of the century option Remaining habitat creation sites Construct new barrier or adapt Thames Barrier ~ 2070!!! Page 28
29 3 phases of stakeholder engagement March 2009: launch TE2100 plan consultation April/May 09: targeting key stakeholders/future implementation partners June to Aug 09: public awareness and engagement Final revision of Plan TE2100 plan public consultation Page 29
30 Conclusions TE2100 provides an overarching FRM strategy for the Thames Estuary for the next 100 years to adapt to changes including SLR New methods and science have been used Methods and lessons learnt potentially have wider application beyond TE2100 but time and resource provided would not be available to all FRM strategies Page 30
