What does climate resilience mean? Researchers from the UK Climate Resilience Programme share their perspectives.
We need to rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst effects of climate change. But we're at a point where some climate change is inevitable. Society will need to anticipate and adapt to the risks - whether that's building our houses to be more comfortable in heatwaves, or making sure our food supply isn't disrupted by extreme weather. The UK Climate Resilience Programme is helping us understand the risks of climate change to different parts of society, and what needs to be done.
