Commons ChamberOrder. We have a lot of questions to get through and we must make more timely progress.
7. What steps she is taking to promote adaptation to climate change.
We are building the nation’s resilience to a changing climate primarily through the implementation of the first “National Adaptation Programme” report, which DEFRA published last July. This sets out more than 370 actions across key sectors involving Government, business, councils, civil society and academia. The Environment Agency’s Climate Ready Support Service also helps a wide range of organisations to adapt.
