The UK's Climate Change Committee states the country's climate adaptation plan is insufficient, underfunded, and requires an additional £10bn per year.

The UK's climate adaptation plan is insufficient and falls short of meeting the country's needs, according to the UK's Climate Change Committee. The plan, published last July, is underfunded, poorly coordinated, and not well monitored or evaluated. The committee warns that an additional £10 billion ($12.78 billion) per year may be needed this decade to adequately prepare for climate risks, as the UK faces increased threats from flooding and heatwaves.
