The UK government has been warned that its failure to adapt to deadly temperatures, extreme flooding and other effects of climate change is endangering the country’s goal of reducing emissions to net zero by 2050.
Climate impacts are already testing the UK’s resilience to a warmer world, such as a six-day heatwave last August that was linked to hundreds of deaths. But the UK government’s statutory advisers on climate change say the country’s response has been inadequate and frustrating.
“Overall, the level of risk that we are facing from climate change has increased since five years ago,” says Chris Stark at the Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent public body that advises the UK government and parliament. “Our preparations are not keeping pace with the risks that we face. That is a very concerning conclusion.”
