England’s climate is changing. It will continue to change as a result of greenhouse gas emissions. Communities, businesses, service providers and the natural environment are already feeling the impacts of the changing climate. Continued change is now unavoidable and will disrupt everyday life.
This report outlines what has happened and what is expected to happen to the UK climate. It describes some of the impacts of these changes for England. It outlines the main adaptation actions that are being taken, or that are being planned, to prepare for the impacts of climate change.
