UK: The National Adaptation Programme - Making the country resilient
As the world’s climate changes, Britain’s expertise in areas such as weather forecasting, flood modelling, infrastructure and insurance are already coming to the fore to prepare us for the kinds of events we might see more often. Indeed, the UK is already one of the global leaders in this industry of the future and this market is expected to grow by 5% or more year on year, supporting
skilled jobs and the weather-resilience that saves money in the long term. Economists have estimated that, across Europe, every £1 spent on increasing resilience now could yield £4 in damages avoided.
