Progress in adapting to climate change: Briefing session with the Climate Change Committee

At the Environment APPG's adaptation event tor parliamentarians and associate members, chaired by Adrian Ramsay MP, we heard from Climate Change Committee experts Dr Richard Millar and Sophie Vipond, following the publication of the CCC's report ‘Progress in adapting to climate change: 2025 report to Parliament’. Dr Richard Miller discussed the urgent need for measures in the face of extreme weather events, and Sophie talked about the benefits of using simpler language around adaptation to help discussions outside of policy circles.

We also heard from Andrew Forsyth (Zurich Resilience Solutions), who discussed the urgent need for solid systems that integrate mitigation with adaptation strategies to be implemented so that businesses are better able to deal with the impacts of climate change, as well as Ali Morse (The Wildlife Trusts) who highlighted the severe rising risk of flooding.
