Description
There is now widespread scientific consensus that accelerated climate change is happening and that human activities are the principal cause. However, measures to reduce emissions are only part of the climate change challenge. Even if significant reductions in emissions were put in place tomorrow, the lag in the climate system means that past emissions will continue to affect the climate for several decades to come. Climate change will have impacts on places where citizens live. Proactively adapting to climate change is therefore an essential part of ensuring our communities remain safe and sustainable.
