Five insights from the launch of a new initiative to help the UK adapt to climate change

Social equity should be a priority of climate adaptation efforts. 

“Right now, the people most vulnerable to floods, heatwaves, and other climate impacts are often the least supported. If we want a truly resilient UK, adaptation efforts – whether involving cooling homes, protecting communities from flooding, or restoring nature – need to be fair and accessible. That means making sure that local voices are heard, that policies actually help those who need them most, and that funding reaches the right places.”
