The Climate Change Committee has published new advice to the Government – the Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk. The report assesses more than 60 risks and opportunities from climate change in the UK.
climate assessment
People, nature, and infrastructure are already vulnerable to a range of climate impacts
The assessment finds that action to improve the nation’s resilience is failing to keep pace with the impacts of a warming planet and increasing climate risks facing the UK.
People, nature, and infrastructure are already vulnerable to a range of climate impacts and these will only increase in the coming years as the climate continues to change.
Net Zero
The longer action to address these risks is delayed, the higher the costs the Government and the UK public will face.
Leadership from the UK Government and governments in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland must improve efforts to adapt to climate change to ensure that societal, economic, and environmental goals, such as Net Zero, remain achievable in the face of climate change.
