UK Climate Change Risk Assessment

The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) is a comprehensive evaluation that identifies the main threats posed by climate change to the country’s environment, economy, and society. Conducted every five years, it considers future climate impacts like flooding, heatwaves, and food security. The assessment helps policymakers understand where to focus efforts and develop plans to adapt to these challenges, aiming to protect communities and preserve natural resources. It provides a scientific basis for the UK’s climate policies and resilience strategies, ensuring the country is better prepared for a changing climate.
