…uses the Adaptation Sub-Committee assessment toolkit to monitor progress in preparing for flood risk, the largest of the risks to emerge from the UK Government’s first climate change risk assessment. In the wake of the country’s worst drought for 30 years, the report also updates on progress in preparing water resources for climate change, following publication of the UK Government’s Water White Paper.
