"The UK will adapt to these risks because there is no choice.
The question is what kind of adaptation it will be.
Ingredients for positive change are political stability, long-term planning, and coordination of limited resources. But perhaps the most crucial aspect involves leaders – at all governance levels – demonstrating that they understand the urgency and importance of adapting to climate change, and that they have the good British common sense to get on with it."
