MPs' warning: UK gov't too focused on short-term extreme weather responses, urging medium-long term planning and infrastructure investment.
MPs warn that the UK government is too focused on short-term responses to extreme weather events, such as floods, storms, and heatwaves. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has called for urgent action to ensure medium and long-term planning and investment in infrastructure, as extreme weather risks are some of the most serious threats facing the UK. The PAC's report highlights a failure to address climate-related risks could result in significant costs for individuals, the economy, and society in the future.
