Summary of headline messages"Adapting to climate change in the UK - measuring progress"
Adaptation Sub-Commitee Progress Report - 14 July 2011(Extract from presentation by Lord John Krebbs, Chair of the Adaptation Sub-Committee)

1. UK is coping with current climate variabilitySome sectors are near the limits and vulnerability is likely to increase
2. Low-regret actions could be taken now
3. Long-term decisions not fully incorporating climate adaptation

Conclusions1. Climate-proof planning needs to incorporate both mitigation and
adaptation - all new developments need to be low carbon and also resilient
2. By not doing that, we are storing up more problems for the future and also losing opportunities
3. There are some good examples of climate-proof planning across the region
4. Lots of high quality support has been provided5. There’s a long way to go to make all this mainstream and systematic
