The UK's Climate Change Committee has issued a stern warning about the governmentâs inadequate response to the climate crisis, emphasizing the increasing severity of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts. Lady Brown criticized the current administration for lacking urgency and considering cuts to flood defenses, despite evident risks. Past incidents of deadly floods in Europe serve as alarming reminders of potential risk to the UK. Without strengthened infrastructure investment to adapt to climate change, the country risks substantial damage costing up to 7% of its economy.
Labour's inaction on climate change endangers people and the economy, as highlighted by the UK's climate watchdog calling for more robust protective measures.
Lady Brown emphasized the urgent need for government action on flooding and climate resilience, warning that ignoring these issues could lead to disaster.
