Fund a National Climate Resilience Plan: protect communities from climate impact
From floods to extreme temperatures, climate impacts risk damaging homes, health, businesses, services, and the economy. We want Government to prioritise adaptation; fund a new Resilience Plan that works with nature and includes public education, infrastructure standards, and local funding.

Background
We believe Government plans are failing us: what we see as a lack of preparation puts the UK’s life-support systems at risk and a focus on short-term fixes like concrete flood walls distract from deeper threats. We think a joined-up national strategy must include local funding, upland & urban flood prevention, community resilience, ecologically sound infrastructure, housing, health, food & water security. We believe that as risks grow, without strategic action, communities face devastation, so adaptation isn’t optional and must be a policy priority.
