The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has released the adaptation reports submitted by organisations in England as part of the fourth round of the adaptation reporting process under the Climate Change 2008 Act.

The Climate Change Committee is warning that the Government’s Third National Adaptation Programme falls “far short of what is required” as evidence of the UK’s inadequate response to worsening climate impacts continues to mount.

The High Court has found that the Government’s strategy for getting to Net Zero is inadequate and unlawful, following a successful legal challenge brought by Good Law Project, Joanna Wheatley, Client Earth and Friends of the Earth.

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has launched a new website to host independent research on UK climate risk as part of its work to prepare an independent Evidence Report to support the UK Government’s third official UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3) due in 2022.

Anglian Water has become the first company to set out how it is preparing for the impacts of climate change in Defra’s latest round of adaptation reporting under the Climate Change Act.
