The new and improved version of the Climate Just website and map tool went live in April 2018, following a series of preview events over the winter to test it with users. This is part of a project led by the University of Manchester and supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

• The main improvement is new flood risk and social vulnerability data within the map tool that is finer grained, includes future flood risk up to the 2050s (under 2 and 4 degree C climate scenarios) and includes Scotland and Wales for the first time.
• This has involved a different methodology to the original flood disadvantage mapping so all the flood indicators, map layers, map legends, info sheets and the user guides have also been updated to reflect the changes.
• New terms and concepts are included for the first time: Social Flood Risk Index and Neighbourhood Flood Vulnerability Index, which are explained in the Glossary and detailed in the Info Sheets.
• The Home Page has been refreshed and new search filters have been added to the Resource and Case Study libraries.
• All the JRF Climate Change research findings (27 reports) have been added to the site to make them easier to find.
• Six recent 'Applying Climate Just' case studies have been added resulting from the 2016 ESRC-supported impact assessment (Hull City Council, Staffordshire County Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and Plymouth Citizen's Advice)
• We are planning on updating the site in the next couple of years as new data becomes available, particularly from the UK wide 2021 Census of Population.
