The Government has published the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA), the first assessment of its kind for the UK and the first in a 5 year cycle. The CCRA has reviewed the evidence for over 700 potential impacts of climate change in a UK context. Detailed analysis was undertaken for over 100 of these impacts across 11 key sectors (Agriculture; Biodiversity and ecosystem services; Built environment; Business, industry and services; Energy; Floods and coastal erosion; Forestry; Health; Marine and fisheries; Transport; Water), on the basis of their likelihood, the scale of their potential consequences and the urgency with which action may be needed to address them.
The Government has also announced a National Adaptation Programme that will prepare the UK for the effects of climate change, including the risks set out in the CCRA. People are encouraged to give their views through a new website http://engage.defra.gov.uk/nap/ on the action needed to tackle the implications of climate change where they live and work.
