MACC Hub Project
Five insights from the launch of a new initiative to help the UK adapt to climate change
In February 2025, the Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change (MACC) Hub launched. It is a landmark initiative to devise strategies to help the UK make changes needed to better adapt to the impacts of climate change. The launch event itself sparked discussion about key issues shaping the UK adaptation agenda, and solicited ideas about the priorities that should drive the work ahead. Here, partners in the Hub program offer five takeaways.
