"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." https://www.sei.org/perspectives/shining-a-36c-spotlight-on-uk-climate-adaptation/
