This report provides the Committee’s biennial report of progress in preparing for climate change as required under the Climate Change Act. It provides an assessment of progress at the end of two National Adaptation Programmes, the statutory programme required from Government to help prepare the country for climate change. The second National Adaptation Programme covered the period of 2018 – 2023 and the third is due to be published in summer 2023.
The report finds a lack of climate preparation from the Government in terms of policies, plans, and implementation. Baroness Brown, chair of the Adaptation Committee, emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate resilience as impacts will intensify in the coming decades.
