Climate Change: UK Falling Behind

A new report criticizes the UK government for its insufficient progress in preparing for the escalating impacts of climate change.

The country's infrastructure, from hospitals to supply chains, remains vulnerable to extreme weather events like floods and heatwaves.

While some investments in flood defenses are underway, experts warn that the pace of adaptation is far too slow to mitigate future risks.

Failure to prioritize climate resilience now could result in substantial economic damage and pose significant risks to public health.
