Climate change will almost certainly have an impact on slope stability in Britain but estimating the location, scale and significance of resultant slope movements is difficult because of: uncertainties as to how global warming will be translated into weather patterns; the important and variable role of human activity in generating instability; the wide variety of factors that combine to influence slope stability over time and space; and the extremely varied nature of slope instability itself which is often concealed by use of the simple umbrella term' landslide'. This paper addresses briefly these issues and focuses on the prevailing lack of knowledge regarding the distribution and significance of landsliding and the need for detailed studies to evaluate hazard
