UK Climate Impacts

Climate change has the potential to cause significant impacts on the UK across all walks of life, from directly impacting our environment, to effecting our economy and increasing costs, as well as damaging our health and culture.

Across the UK, climate change is having already direct and tangible impacts on local communities, causing warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers, as well as an increase the number of unusual and extreme weather events. These, in turn, will mean more floods and droughts.
